Well, it is indeed a very clean machine. The previous owner was very keen on telling that he was very carefull with it and stored it in a box to keep it clean. Both tapedrives are working fine, I put a casette tape in it which came with the machine, and the game just loaded without problem (did not have to clean the head). I'm not sure of the expandapet board works, as I do not see a larger RAM memory when plugged in. The SYS command to start de Compu-Think software freezes the system. Maybe one of the 2 EPROMS have lost their data over time.... Another item I found in the box of goodies is a digitizer, a little black plate with a couple of copper sections you can tap with the connected stylus. The touch area is about 3" by 3" in size. Ed
