I have a couple of requests for information (maybe 3).

Has anyone seen a STacy offered for retail sale in the USA?

Has anyone seen a Mega ST offered for sale with TOS 1.4 as original equipment?

Would someone who knows more details about the Spectrum picture format than
are given in the Baggett image formats list please explain the handling of
palettes to me a bit more.  What I get from the list is that the image data
looks just like a low rez screen, but that 3 palettes are loaded for each
scan line; the palettes are somewhat abbreviated.  What pixel number does
each palette take effect at?  Are these regular 16-word-long palettes?  If
the docs with the package are good enough, I might buy it just for the docs,
but with my lack of artistic ability, another paint program is the LAST
thing I need.

I guess replies to the net are appropriate for the first 2 questions; mail
or posting, your choice, for the third.

Thanks.                              Steve J.
