Before the Galaxy tablets of today, there was the $5,000 Samsung PenMaster from 1992. The device featured a sleek case, or at least for that time, and was based around an Intel i386SL CPU processor. One other interesting fact is that a re-bodied version was sold as the GRiDPad SL. It ran Microsoft’s newly released Windows for Pen Computing operating system, while the touchscreen relies on a chipset by Wacom, paired with a battery-powered pen.
One of the most common Samsung PenMaster models boasts a 60MB HDD, 4MB of RAM and a 386/20 processor. Despite being released in 1992, it has a built-in modem, parallel port, one serial port, an FDD port, VGA out, a PS/2 keyboard input and a PC Card slot. It runs a Phoenix BIOS, MS-DOS 5 and Windows for Pen Computing version 1.
