Maybe I'm wrong but as I recall, the 64000 is a
LARGE desktop unit with
about a 13 or 14 inch screen, keyboard etc all built into one BIG unit. The
64100 is portable machine that's similar is size and style to a Kaypro
computer (but slightly larger). The two do similar jobs but they're very
different in size and weight. Due to the very different styles of
construction and size, I'm sure that they use very different interface cards.
The only practical difference between the two is the number of interface
cards you can place in the instrument, and how easy they are to move...
(There are other minor differences, like power supply size, etc.)
They both use exactly the same instrument cards...
The 64100 is "portable", that is, it has a handle on it, and, IIRC
a fold-down keyboard that protects the screen and floppy drives,
though I wouldn't want to carry one a long way :-) The desktop
unit is large and quite heavy...
