Toshiba Libretto was a family of early subnotebooks. It startet with AMD 486 processors and later changed to Intel Pentium and Pentium MMX. There also were models built around the Transmeta Crusoe processor.

At the VCFe, this Toshiba Libretto is running NetBSD which is connected to the Nemesis MUD. Nemesis is a first generation multi user online game, controlled by typing in commands on a text console.

Based on a Z80 CPU, the BOSS was introduced by Olympia in Germany in 1980. It was mostly used in office environments, running either on CP/M or PROLOGUE operating system.

The system came dead without any schematics and required redraw schematics as well as disassembling the boot ROM in order to bring it back to live.
