I know it says different ROM version in your auction description, but
how exactly does this model differ from the Educator 64 (one of which
is also up on ebay at the moment?)
There is a different startup screen (the first picture shows this) and
there is interrupt code to prevent anyone from changing the color of the
border or background. If you try to do say a POKE 53281,5 the screen
will flash like the 64 is changing the "color" to what you want, but
then the color is changed right back. I have read there is a POKE that
will disable this interrupt, but it is only temporary.
Also, there is no headphone jack, speaker or audio amplifier inside the
case like on the Educator 64. And on the motherboard, there is no RF
modulator.
