I bought a 128 in Feb of 1984, when they first came out. When I sold it a couple of months ago it had 128K ROMS, SCSI port, and 2 Meg of memory, and ran great. I'd had to replace the power supply twice but other than that never had any problems with it. All-in-all, I'd say they have a long and productive life ahead of them if you get the 128K ROM upgrade. Even more so if you get one of the multitudinous 2 Meg memory upgrades and SCSI ports (I got Levco's) >-- >Paul Suhler suhler@im4u.UTEXAS.EDU 512-474-9517/471-3903 -- David W.
