It may be the SX212 that I have found in the stores up here.  It has
both an RS232 and an Atari 800-type SIO connectors.  Looks pretty
tempting...
   The price is $179 CDN, which usually indicates the price in the 
US is about $90 US.
   Is it true that it comes with NO R: handler??  That is almost,
but not quite, unbelievable.
