I picked up a flyer from Micropro (Wordstar) at the last NCC which proposes a seemingly attractive offer for Apple II owners. If you buy Wordstar (or Infostar) before August 31, then they will give you FREE: "6 Mhz Z-80B Processor 64K RAM Memory on the board CP/M 2.2 Operating System 2k EPROM on the board 70 Column high-resolution capability (separate 80-column board not needed) Shift Modification Device for upper and lower case Expansion Interface Port for extra memory, parallel or serial board, or networking Communicates with Apple through parallel port 40-255 column horizontal scroll capability Supports popular Apple peripherals including 80 column boards, floppy and hard disk drives, and printers" This sounds almost too good to be true. Has anyone had any experience with this offer, or have any knowledge further than that on the flyer? In particular, I would be interested to know if the 70 Column card would be compatible with software intended for the Videx 80 column card.
