This is a question directed to anyone with a 1040 system.  The Byte interview
in the March issue mentions a possible graphics coprocessor as well as an
integral rf modulator for the 1040 system.  According to my local dealer
(Personal Computers of Ithaca) the 1040 does not and will not have the
rf modulator and the graphics coprocessor will not appear in later versions
of the 1040.  It wil be used instead in the next generation machine.  He
cited his dealer's newsletter as a source.  Is this in fact the case?
The rf modulator might then make the 520 a more appealing purchase.  Does
anybody know anything about this?
