PRM-85 ?  cost?
 
If  I end up getting   fascinated  with the   *%  I  may  want to  get one  
too..
First, I need to get it out and open and see what is all with it..

It'd be  interesting to find out how well that PRM-85 works. I've laid out a
board  for a rough equivalent but I haven't fabbed it out. It may be cheaper
for  me to buy that instead.

I've also got a 9122C but I don't have the mass  storage ROM so I can't use
it with my 85. Right now I'm using it with my  9000 series 300.
