Actually, this IS portable. It looks like a small sewing maching and
doens't weigh that much. After I posted I found stuck insid the fake
leather carrying case the manual. It looks like its a 207-100
workstation. The one your describing sounds like a 203 or 205. The,
almost, best part of this find is that a man who owns a used computer
store was standing behind me as I grabbed it. I've dealt with him before
and he's not the most pleasant person in the world so I don't feel any
guilt at all.
Thanks for the reply. Boy am I happy. This makes up for the
Hypericon I let go a while back.
