Its complete with docs,addum,keyboard template,etc. It also has the patches for MS-Dos 3.10b in case you want to use it. I paid $79.95 for it a few months back and it turns out that I don't need it for my application (running a point). I understand that the current price is $99.95. If you are interested in it, give me a call at (504) 886-3713 after 6pm or drop me a check in the mail and I'll ship it to you.

Comes complete with original documentation and something called the "Betterments package". I dont have a rainbow but am told that it works well. I would like to trade this for some IBM pc parts or software. I know its not worth much. How about an 8 bit HD controller? Also looking for Tandy 1000 memory expansion cards or Hd controllers.

Codeblue is not free. If you can buy the latest copy and have ms_dos 3.01b you can run the latest ibm Wordperfect version 5.1 on the rainbow with lots of memory and harddisk (must convert ibm disk to rainbow disk to install). Have been told the rainbow!! version 4.2 runs without codeblue. Someone may have a copy to sell or trade.

The vertical synch can be adjusted easily.

Just takes a little effort because it asks you if you want to undelete each file, then they must be renamed to replace the first letter of the filename. - --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Md. - 301-622-2247 (1:109/417) ------------------------------ End of Rainbow EchoMail Digest ******************************
