     BOSS models are numbered SF-7000, SF-7500, SF-8000, SF-9000, and SF-9500.
The 7000 has 32K of memory, the others have 64K.  The 8000 and 9500 offer a
larger, chiclet keyboard, while the 7000, 7500, and 9000 have a membrane
keyboard.  The 9000 and 9500 have expander cards available.  All models have
the same alarm features.

     The scheduled alarms can be set for any time of the day.  There are no
recurring alarms, except for a single daily alarm, unfortunately.  The 
schedule alarm can be set to a time independent of the actual event, so you
can get an alarm at 9:30 for a 10:00 appointment.
