Since the LC 475 has been reversed and made abailable by @Bolle one of my dreams has become a possibility: Portable/Q605 edition

Hurdles to overcome:

- printed inner chassis model developed to rearrange innards allowing for easily reversible restoration.
- printed solid front bezel model for lid w/o Trackball divots so cutout for any size/Q605 resolution Color LCD can modded to suit (easily reversible)
- source Numeric Pad to replace Trackball or develop TrackPad (ICK!!!!) for same
____ single divot with larger panel panel centered on KBD for righties or lefties wanting to retain Trackball

- LC475 high resolution capability makes for great panel choice options
____ VGA adapter built in with HD-15 out, headers for internal panel controller feed
________ maybe put a switch in the modem cutout for internal/external video feed?

- mod/refine logic board
____ match ports
____ align PDS connector with Luggable form factor
________ standard card horizontal installation retained in remodeled inner chassis
________ new development cards to be installed vertically with backplane slot access

The kitchen sink . . . perchance to dream . . .
