===================================

Marc, if you're referring to the TRS-80 Model 100 (which I still have), they
called it a "briefcase" computer.  It had the LCD screen with about 8 lines
of text visible.  It had BASIC in ROM.  It wouldn't respond to CP/M command
lines (I just checked).  But I don't know what the actual OS was.
