Has anyone heard of the Sinclair QL (Quantum Leap) computer?  I read in the
July 84' Computer Digest page 5 (in Radio Electronics Magazine) that it has
128K RAM, a Motorola 68008 processor, and two 100K byte cassette drives all
for $499 US.  The RAM is supposed to eventually be expandable to 640K byte.
A number of ports are provided, including an RS232 and some sort  of  Local
Area  Network  interface.  The  video  output is settable for 40, 60, or 80
column widths.  An integrated software package is also  included.  Is  this
machine available in the US or Canade yet?  When?  From Who?  Is this price
correct?  Is this machine for real?  Please send any info.
