From: Ron Minnich <minnich.EE@UDel-Relay> It is described in the April 21 issue of Electronics. It is known as the M20. The picture shows a spiffy-looking all-in-one unit complete with two 5 1/4" floppies. It has a standard keyboard and a numeric keypad. A configuration including 2 fd's, monochrome display, 128 Kb memory, and a printer costs about $4500. The display is bit-map and supports up to 16 windows. The 'basic' machine-whatever that is- costs about $3000. An Olivetti salesman claimed that the basic machine included 2 floppies, 64Kb memory, and the display. Olivetti salesman told me they will be available to end-users through distributors (like Computerland) only. ron
