Here are some of the details: 16 x 40 pop-up LCD display 80c85 cpu 72k ROM - includes same software as Model 100 plus Multiplan (tm). up to 72k RAM Seems that it uses bank-switching to accomodate the possible 144k of memory. I was surprised to see a screen width of only 40 characters instead of 80 -- it's not much of an improvement over the Model 100 (like the one I am using right now...:-). Prices, at least in Canada, seemed comparable to those for the Model 100 when it first came out: ~CDN$799 for the base machine (with 8k RAM?). -- ----- Toto of Oz (woof-woof :-) {ihnp4|allegra|utzoo|utcrgv}!watmath!esfraga
