I also saw a DEC Rainbow. However, it is priced at
$89.95--way more than I
am used to pay. Does a DEC Rainbow worth this much?
Probably not, in the States. Anyway, mine is in Europe and I got it for
free. It's been used for less than 100 hours; it's got all the original
software including lots of disks. Tower "case" (actually a box that makes
the desktop case look bulkier and more mini-like), colo{,u}r monitor and
display card, 300 baud acoustic coupler, printer. The owner really was
careful with his machine: he even gave me the official DEC screen cleaning
liquid! :-)
Btw, is it true that you can't format disks on the Rainbow and need DEC
preformatted ones instead?
