I just received the glossy for the TwinCom 96/42 (Hot off the press).  The
specs are reproduced below.  The only REAL significant feature is the 
$300 price.  It is currently available only as an internal, but they told
me an external should be out sometime this summer.  Has anyone bought one of
these?  I would be interested in feedback.
