I owned a model 25 a number of years ago. This one actually had a 30MB
HDD that used a seperate controller. I also had an 8-slot ISA expansion
box from a comapny called Pacific Coast Horizons (PCH, I think that was
the name of the outfit). Also had an NEC CDR-72 single speed CD-ROM
(SCSI) and an MPU-401/MT-32 setup.

Thanks, I am quite familiar with them. In my high school I was in charging

they had 20-MB hard drives and a single 720-k floppy drive. we used DOS and
WordPerfect 5.1 on them. The school gave them all to me after I graduated,
and like a fool I trashed them (along with 10 model 80's, and 10 old Zenith
machines) Now nostalgia is setting in and I would like to get my hands on
one again.
