So Commodore thought they could be successful at defying convention by
giving the stripped down model a higher model number?
They certainly were insane, weren't they?
Well, sort of the same.. (hmmm... not really but anyway...)
Ohio Scientific C4P:
Full 8K BASIC in ROM
Power it up, start typing in a prog or load one from cassette.
Ohio Scientific C4P-MF (mini-Floppy, cost much more):
Surely, it's just a C4P with the addition of a floppy controller and drive?
No (and stop calling me Shirley). The C4P-MF has a substantially different
CPU board with NO 8K BASIC in ROM. Only a bootstrap in a 1K ROM. Find a
C4P-MF? Nice doorstop unless you can get boot disks.
