I would not even consider buying a  Chameleon from Seequa (I did once, ouch)!
After 3 ROM changes, several trips to the factory, and lots of aggravation,
our Chameleon STILL does not run several major PC software packages, STILL
cannot run CP/M, and STILL cannot be carried around without generating
lacerated hands from the STUPID sharp-edged handle.  There are a few good 
things to say about the Chameleon, price/performance-wise, but your
peace of mind may be depleted severely if you must cope with one.

My advise to anyone thinking about the Chameleon is: don't. Best thing to do
would be to mark your calendars for March '84, to check into it then, after
some debugging time.

Ciao...Jim Frimmel
