DAK Industries is liquidating the remaining Epson PX-8 "Geneva" CP/M laptop computers cheap. I have a px-8 bought several years ago for rather more, and I like it a lot; I was sorry to hear it had been discontinued. So I mention this to help it get a second lease on life in the bargain basement. They list the computer itself, the 120K ramdisk unit, the multi-unit (64k ramdisk, 300-baud modem, extra rom port), the 3.5 inch disk drive, and some software. They are pushing a package of the computer, the multi-unit, and a printer for $699, which is VERY good. For those unfamiliar with the px-8, it's a battery operated laptop with lcd 80x8 screen (implemented as a window over a 24x80 buffer, so normal software will run). Weighs maybe 5 pounds, fits into a briefcase along with other stuff. And it runs cp/m, so it's easy to develope software for it, and there's lots of commercial and pd stuff available. -- David Dyer-Bennet Usenet: ...ihnp4!umn-cs!starfire!ddb Fido: sysop of fido 14/341, (612) 721-8967 Telephone: (612) 721-8800 USmail: 4242 Minnehaha Ave S Mpls, MN 55406
