Wha? Whoa! Mmmmmm, noper. The 200's screen had only twice the real estate
of the M100 -- it has a 40x16 screen. Yes it was a flip-top which was nice
(Get this -- the two halves are kept together during transit by *magnets*)
and is very easy to read for a non-backlit screen, but 80x24's were still a
few years away... Tandy got close on the Tandy 600 with 80x16, but the
display was wide, short, and much harder to read. (It wasn't backlit either.)
Here's a question: Anybody know how many Tandy 600's were made? I'd like to
know how rare mine is!
See ya,
