It has a monochrome bit-map display (1024 x 800), 40MByte Winchester, 5.25" floppy, a Swiss 3-button mouse, on-board Ethernet and 1MByte RAM. It also has an IBM-PC expansion bus (DMA capable) which should keep the price of peripherals down. All this for (pounds sterling) 8000 or there abouts. I have a beta-test machine which is behaving reasonably for such things, but it's early days yet for software which takes advantage of the screen (window manager soon) or the Ethernet (no support yet).
