I don't know what the picture on the XE box looks like but the XF551 doesn't
look much different from the 1050.

I personally am not too interest in a mouse but I would like to see a 
GEM type interface.  Unfortunately, the mouse and RAOS that was advertized
by Zorbian Controls never came to pass.  It was all vaporware and the
company must now be out of business (if it was ever a company, they only
had a box office number) because they do not answer the phone number that
was listed in their ad.  I also wrote them a letter but got no reply.  Does
anyone know if there is any GEM interface software available, PD or otherwise?
