The salesman didn't seem to know anything about the machine but I picked up the specs from a pamphlet. Since I still haven't seen this beast advertised I thought I would pass along what I know about it and hope one of you can supply more info. Keyboard reasonable, not super, fullstroke graphics/video same as 64k RS232 1 port, built in IEEE-488 built in Plug in ROM don't know what size memory 128K expandable to 840K processors 6509 built in, If you know this chip please send a description Z80 option, will allow you to run CP/M 8088 option, will allow you to run CP/M86 software Microsoft 4.something BASIC built in $795 base price I couldn't get any info about prices or availability of the optional processors, software or peripherals. When I started asking questions about the machine the salesman stated that this was a home computer, not an engineering computer or a business computer and that technical questions were not meaningful in that context. With 840K an 8088 and CP/M86 this could be a nice home computer. If anyone has more info please send it along. Bob Pendleton -------
