Just the CPU, no monitor or Keyboard..
Haven't really tested it yet, but I did power it up with no monitor or keyboard
and it tried to access drive A:
That was $3.50 too much.
Wonder if this thing has any real value.
Nope, as you've probably been told by now.
Anyone know how many of them were produced ?.
Billions of those junkers. There was a Sanyo specific magazine out by Falsoft
Publishuing near Louisville, KY some years ago called Soft Sector, that's what a
terrific machine it was (YUK). Without a keyboard you are *screwed*. It uses a
proprietary keyboard that has no ALT key. Real piece of crap (for lack of a better
word in public). Maybe you got $3.50 worth with the floppy drive anyway.
