How small is "really small"? IBM made a terminal with a 5" screen for the 4704 banking systems. http://frente-cajas.blogspot.com/

Yes you could do things with small laptops and PDAs with PCMCIA cards and adapters and software - I know a guy who kept a Psion Organizer configured especially for use as a terminal with SGI boxes. But that's Not The Same, and NOT what I'm after; I want dedicated purpose-built terminals; switch it on and It Works. And both DEC and IBM made 'real' terminals in a 'small pizza box' form factor, using a separate standard VGA monitor as a display; one could use those with a small LCD screen and achieve a similar result, and I might do just that - can anyone remember the model numbers of IBM 3270 and 5250 terminals that were built this way? But really I'd prefer a compact all-in one solution; a one-piece terminal. Any suggestions? I'm open to both LCDs and *small* CRTs. Preferably colour!
