subject: Classic Laptop/Palmtop?

Is anyone running an old laptop/palmtop? I'm looking for something to run
text-mode programs, either DOS or a cutdown Linux distro. I'd like something
about the size of a netbook. I'm curious what laptops out there exist, and
which have stood the test of time.

I used to have an IBM Workpad Z50 which was a perfect size, but it only ran
Windows CE (you could hack it to run NetBSD). There were HP 200LX and Toshiba
Libretto palmtops, but they're a little too small.

Any suggestions?
