Timeline is at http://www.digisys.net/timeline/, BUT, they have no info that I can find on their web page about this machine (It's advertised in Popular Electronics and perhaps other magazines.) I have one, as do other folks; Ask any of us with a machine, we can find out what you want to know. From what I've seen so far, it's a small 486 desktop system with a small Ni-Cad battery for power backup. I plan to get to installing linux [Slackware 3.4] on mine (once I get a WORKING laptop HD over 130 Mb to install in 'er, or maybe I'll just stuff the 130Mb Seagate drive in there for now.) The 1Gb laptop drive I bought is going back on an RMA so I may not be doing this for ~ 2 weeks, slower than planned... Any programs I can run as I go, to let you know more, just ask (I'll definitely run dual boot Linux/Dos on mine, migrating towards pure Linux as I get better at Linux but keeping backwards compatibility for now. I'd probably find what I check for you, useful for me as well!) Oh, BTW for cheaper IRDA adapters, HSC (Halted) has $29 for a PCMCIA card PLUS an ISA card, or $19 apiece, at http://www.halted.com/specials/pc.htm; I bought one set, will let me attach the Laptop to the IRDA server once I hook that up, as well a my PC110. I may get another pair (PCMCIA for the wearable & to give me a second IRDA server on the home LAN here!) as they're cheap enough; these are IBM "Options" units, I need to get around to installing them but I've dealt with HSC previously, no problems so far.
