I bought one a year ago. Due to changing circumstances, I don't use it
much. I anticipated using it as a travelling email machine, possibly using
DOS/KA9Q.

"They said it couldn'y be done in less than 2 Mb.", bit I have Wfwg 3.11
running in 1 Mb., also Word for Windows V2 and Excel V3 running.

I had to down load a plasma video driver utility from Compaq for
Windows and have a menu'd autoexec.bat to minimise ram usage.
Consultancy service available :-).

There's an outfit in Aylesbury who use one as a test bed, maybe that is
who the next article is from.

I have yet to open the case. It looks like it needs some kind of Torx
screwdiver bit.

Good luck
