     Having seen several rave reviews on the new micro from EPSON
I am wondering if anyone has seen it.  It would appear to have every
feature that a personal productivity enhancer should have.  Two
questions:

	- What type of expansion cards are supported (eg
	  Apple, IBM, S100) ?
	
	- does a CP/M plot 10 emulator/TERMCAP program exist ?

Since this is a general submission to net.micro, perhaps I should list the
things that an excellent micro might have : 256kb RAM, 2 disks, 80x24
screen, high res b/w graphics (at least 1/2 of tek4010 res), and 
integrated software.  The exact microprocessor or other hardware
is not so critical because the machine will only be used by one.

I use a QX-10 to emulate a terminal (among other things).  Epson's BIOS
partially emulates a Televideo 920, and the CP/M BDOS calls run on top
of that.  I use a little program which uses BDOS calls.  Watch out for
XON/XOFF (the BIOS traps these coming from the keyboard) and tabs, which
are expanded to spaces.

The other approach (which most commercial emulation software uses) is to
bypass the BIOS and talk directly to the hardware.  Epson's MTERM program
(in the 256K CP/M upgrade) does this, and unfortunately, does not support
escape sequences.
