Kim, I haven't seenit because it has not been fully marketed. Some computer stores have demos in, but thats about it. I call around about it and I talked to a few friends and here is what I found: The Access will cost around $2400 - $2500 It will have 64K of RAM + 8K of EPROM It will run CP/M 80 [3.0 when it comes out] It will have the modems as I said, though I still don't know about the baud It will have an 80 column printer with graphics, I think it is a Prowriter striped down and built into the Access's case And it will have an 80x24 AMBER CRT. The keyboard is VT100 type low-profile with all the special function keys, ESC, CTL, DEL, etc... 2 RS232 ports, 1 Centronics, and one IEEE 488 port finish up the package. The disk drives are as I said, 5 1/4, DD DS. and an option to add an 8 inch drive externially... That all I have on it for now... Check back with me in a few days for more, or I'll let you know..
