You should be aware that the Leading Edge Model D is a 4.77mhz design
which means that it is as slow as an IBM PC or XT.  Compared to anything
running at 8mhz (like an AT&T, EPSON, numerable clones) a 4.77mhz machine
is a DOG!  It is the oldest possible technology (like buying single sided 
floppy drives).  I would strongly recommend getting something with an 8086
(8mhz) or 8088-2 (4.77 - 8mhz switchable) microprocessor.  The 808x technology
is already old enough, don't saddle yourself with a dog of a microprocessor.
