Yes, there is much about the 128 that is "non-standard", i.e. not 
similar to the corresponding IBM structures.  Nevertheless, it's a great
machine.--I plan to get the word processor "Fontmaster 128", which will
help me with my study of the Semitic languages.  It allows the user to
edit text from right to left!--I don't know of any programs for the Amiga
or IBM that can do that, (though they probably exist), and is one of the 
main reasons I got the 128...

some used.

Take care.
