Forgot one more! UK folks pls comment (RE: Another weekend haul story)

Almost forgot - I also picked up an Apricot F2. For those in the US,
this is one bizarre machine. It's only about 7" wide, 4" tall and 16"
deep. It has a wireless infrared keyboard and wireless hand-held
trackball!

I never knew these were sold in the United States. It's marked 60Hz so
it's not an import. About all I know about it is from a couple of web
references -- 1985, 8086 CPU, 512K RAM, dual 720K drives, ran a modified
OEM version of MS-DOS.

Any additional information -- and pointers to a boot disk --
appreciated!

thanks

Kai
