How much did they pay him to take it away? :)

Can you say "sort of MS-DOS, but not really"? My uncle has a 550, by Sanyo.
It seem that the poor machine is limited to 512k, and only has a couple bus
slots. It didn't seem to like hardrives allthat much, although the hard
drive in my uncles machine was of questionable relyability. The 555 is a
tiny bit better. But only a tiny bit.
IMHO, it's a reasonable boat anchor, if you fill it with cement. Sanyo
should have stuck to making stereos.
