The "F" stands for "Floppy", as in a floppy drive in the box. The "M" stands for "Modulator", a frequency modulator for connection to TV. I haven't seen (or heard of, until now) a 1040STfm, but all of the 520's I've seen in the last few months have had that letter designation, a built-in floppy drive, and a frequency modulator on the motherboard. -- Clif Swinford ..!tektronix!reed!percival!actor fnord
