Just can't see any of that electronic gear in V1 or 2.x. Be hard pressed for many DVDs let alone a portable player.
MP3 players were not commercially produced, let alone wide spread until 1998. Say what you will about ramped up wartime production, but I don't think electronic entertainment devices fall into that accelerated development timeline...
The MP3's no for T2K. Likewise the DVD and especially the mini-DVD player -- DVDs were experimental at the time and so were the portable players. But the Toughbook -- we had similar computers at G3 for the field in the late 1980s. (Of course, they were running a version of DOS and DOSShell.)
