Ok, I just purchase a Rainbow pc100 with computer monitor and nothing else.
I have no ideal how to proceed to get this machine up and running. 
What types of things can be done with a Rainbow.  What OS (s) does it
run.  Are there any ftp sites that contain pd software for them.  I
would love to run MSDOS programs on it, what do I need to do?  I also
have an old st506 hardrive, what do I need to do to connect it?  I am
really interesed in a good vt220 emulator with x,y,z, or kermit file 
xfer protocals... Editors, Word processors, Spead Sheets, Databasses, 
Compilers, and the list goes on and on...

What about hardware expansion, RAM, Color monitors, ect... What is needed 
and what is available?

Any information or direction would be much appreciated.
