Spelling: Aladin (one 'd').

They use a ROM cartridge (with some kind of GAL or PAL as "copy
protection) for the ROMs (or EPROMs if you like... :-)

The Aladin is not compatible with the Sac or Spectre :-(
It is more stable than the Sac :-)

The Aladin was not availeble for a while: Apple Germany did not like a
cheap, stable Mac compatible system...

It's now sold in the Netherlands (where Apple Germany can't do a
lot...). Versions using the Hard Disk and the 128K ROMs are promised
(availeble probably after the CeBIT).
