I just acquired 2 of these devices for $15,
one of them works.  From what I can determine,
they speak Basic and seem to have about 128K ram.

Specific questions:

	Anything noteworthy about the BASIC?
	Processor?
	Machine language escape mechanism?
	What does the DIP switch do?
	What are the video specifications?
	(why does every monitor I've tried
	 seem to overscan so much?  Can I
	 adjust for this somehow?)

Any more information or general comments would
be appreciated.
