Hi Tony,
Ah well, another otherwise fine theory shot down in flames.... :-)
No, the one I spotted had no keyboard, software or manuals.
So that makes at least two "spotted in the wild"....
Would I be
right in assuming that the machines with SA400s
had double sided drives and the ones with Canon drives were
single sided?
Not always. All the machines at my school (which were 2 of
each sort IIRC) had double sided drives.... I wonder if
that's the same machine I spotted? The chap who
had it for sale ended up taking it home....
No idea, of course.
It came with a keyboard....
....Oh, and a few disks and a pile of manuals. Inside it has 64K RAM (see my other message), the
hires card,
minidisk controller and bus terminator. It has all the standard
interfaces you'd expect from those (user port, SIO-4) and the
colour output option as well.
*NICE* setup. Only one of our machines had the hires card (funnily enough
the one with the "free" RAM card) and it was darn useful....
TTFN - Pete.
