Are you sure about that? If so, that's pretty intriguing.
Gary's completely wrong on this one. The 801 is a tan plastic box about a foot wide
x a foot deep x 7 inches tall. It has a bunch of membrane keys on the front and about an
eight (I think) character LED display. A cable about 3 foot long comes out the back and
connects to a buffer box that's about the size of a pack of cigarettes. A card edge
connector on the buffer box is used to connect how ever many leads are needed to connect
to the monitor. It looks nothing like an TRS computer and it's too small to have a TRS
computer board inside of it.
