   What BOTH Tandy and PBJ are now selling is called the "wordpak-rs".  It 
is basicaly a wordpak-I except it is addressed at different memory addresses.
Cost is $99.00.  At this time, PBJ no longer sells either the wordpak I or II.
   I would wait a while before rushing out to buy it though.  I am currently
working with PBJ to clear up a bug in the co80 driver they supply.  The
one that comes with os9 V2.00, well, who knows what it is for.  PBJ ships
its own driver at this time.  I have version 1.00 and the ^F, or cursor
right does not work.  PBJ will, no doubt, clear this up quickly.
