Does anyone have comparisons of Jonos and Attache? They sound very similar. Does anyone know what the graphics on the Attache are like, what bus it is internally? So far I know the following: Parameter: Jonos Attache cost 4k 4k bus std realtime clk avail. standard 64K yes yes disks (2) 330K 330K screen 9in. graphics avail. standard? availability immed. weight ? ? Jonos will be out soon with a new version of the system with two three in hard disk, holding 5.25 meg each, removable. That system will have CP/M 3.0, and clock will be standard. The system will be 6k. I think the jonos is a six card cardcage. Jonos supports a $300 8" floppy disk controller card so you can be compatible with the world. I don't remember how many serial ports it has, probably 2. They have something they call an "Attachable Printer". They seem to mean something more profound then that it plugs in. Does this mean it fits in the case (seems unlikely)? I spoke to Jonos a couple of days ago and they were very informed and helpful. Their staff is way beyond the usual level of competence. Would people be interested in a group purchase of either machine? Get in touch directly with me if you are. I'm interested in getting one by the Christmas. Jonos gave me information about quantity, and they have stock. Phill -------
