I have some one page data sheets on the new commodore products.
Commodore will mail these right out if you ask for them.
Call (215) 436-4200

A few highlights:

The new C64 compatible is the C128, not the B128.  As in C64.
128K RAM, 64K ROM, 8502 processor (6502 compatible), Z80 processor,
40/80 columns in color (RGB and composite), RAM expandable to 512K,
full C64 compatibility, CP/M capable with new drive.
C64 mode is 1MHz 40 column, C128 mode is 1 or 2 MHz 40/80 column,
CP/M mode is 4MHz 80 column.

The new drive is the 1571.  In 1541 mode speed is 300 cps.
In 1571 mode speed is 1500 cps.  In CP/M mode speed is 3500 cps.

They also have a lap computer with 80x16 LCD screen.
