luggage is treated. You don't want some idiot
deciding to see how far
into
the pile the box can be thrown.
Which is what they did to a TRS80 Model 3 my missus brought back from the
US for me....I think they juggled with it first before throwing it, given
the state it was in when I got it.
As for the size, it doesn't look that much larger
than a standard
Laserdisc
player (though it looks a little thicker than most).
The thickness is down to the SCSI layer underneath the main player.
They're very sensitive to heat as well, even my good working one decided
to throw a hissy fit at the last exhibition I did 2 weeks ago which meant
I had to manually spin the platter at exactly the right time to get it to
spin up since the electronics couldn't do that themselves :o\
Of course, these days there's a fairly good web version but I can't find
the email I've got that has the URL......typical....
