SECRET SERVICE As Windows NT gains momentum among corporate users, compatibility problems and lack of support for PC-card modems have kept the system off laptops. Digital Equipment aims to change that with a $6,000 version of its new HiNote Ultra subnotebook with NT--and software to run a limited range of PC cards--installed. That price buys a 133-megahertz Pentium processor, a 1.4-gigabyte hard disk, and 24 megabytes of RAM. Digital expects the laptop to appeal to financial-services outfits and government agencies that need NT's tough security features.
