Dual MRA-2000
The Dual MRA-2000 (aka Mirage 2000) is a Pentium II-based desktop replacement laptop that was released in October 1998. This was Dual's absolute top-of-the-line machine, with a 15.0" display, support for built-in ethernet, and even an internal CCD camera, making this one of the very first laptops with a webcam.
What's a real shame is that this laptop was not seemingly a success for Dual. They're not common today.
I do have the user manual, schematics, and block diagram for this laptop as they were all published in the MRA-2000's FCC application.
