(Not all because the serial ports are different devices, but many) It also runs a nice version of CP/M 2.2 and the nicest version of CP/M + (also known as CP/M 3.0) that you've ever seen. The source is included, and is heavily commented. It has 128k ram and a battery-backed up real-time clock. Runs LDOS 5.1.x for R.S. programs. Rumor department: Lobo Systems was known to be in financial trouble, and I don't know their present situation. As far as I do know, this is their one and only product, which seems to guarantee a short life these days. Sales department: I have one of these babies for sale. Includes 2 360k floppies, 2 8" Shugart DSDD drives, lots ofsoftware, manuals, etc. First $700 takes it all. You pay shipping. (parting with it because of the usual reasons....my work requires that I have an IBM compatible machine at home) =#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=#=# Dick Gardner Eastman Kodak Co.
