It had wordstar in ROM along with a spreadsheet, database, and a coms program for the built in 1200b modem. An external cassette recorder was used for file storage. OS was CP/M. Really nice keyboard. Amber screen. Used it as a console to an HP server over it's serial port.<br><br>I miss neither of them.<br></blockquote><br>And your phone has more computing power today. Just need a larger screen and keyboard. Or just use scrscp with a USB connection.<hr>Ale mailing list<br>Ale@ale.org<br><a href="https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale">https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale</a><br>See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at<br><a href="http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo">http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo</a><br></pre></blockquote></div><br>-- <br>Computers amplify human error<br>Super computers are really cool</body></html>
