One of the nicest features of the MM-103 is that we can use it up to
600 baud routinely cross-country (and at 710 baud under ideal
conditions.) I infer from your comment that this would no longer be
possible with the new unit if the 103 circuitry is of lower quality.
The MM-103 has become a de-facto standard for RCPM's and others
interested in the dostribution of public domain CP/M software. It
would be a real shame to ignore the installed user base by going off
tangentially with a partially incompatible product if such is the
case, though I can understand the cost considerations.
