Richard...Have used two Otrona Attaches [one configured 8:16] constantly during the past three years and, yes, they are good machines. Unfortun- ately Otrona went tits up a while back, but service is readily available from several independent sources. Suggest you contact Computer Systems of Marin, 301 Poplar St, Mill Valley, CA 94941 (415) 388-4805 re: avail- ability of Attaches. As of May they advertised 8:16 machines (new) for $1200. Good luck & Aloha, Jeff Grovhoug grovhoug@nosc

Whoever said that OTRONA ATTACHE's were a good machine certainly has a few wires loose.

Well, everyone has his/her own opinion, but from my experience three+ years of nearly trouble-free HEAVY use of two Otrona machines in very hostile field environments [I'm a field marine biologist], this box HAS WORKED FOR ME! I guess my view is from the perspective "it gets the job done for me" soooo much better than B4. Am aware that there may be much better systems now [both hardware & software-wise]. Again, the machine has already paid for itself in utility for my projects. Aloha, Jeff Grovhoug

I have used an Otrona Attache almost daily for three years now with absolutely no problems and have (for me, at least) found it an excellent CPM machine. -------
