In my opinion they need to pay YOU to take the Sanyo. They're real dogs
and if they don't have the specially modified DOS that goes with it then
it's not even a good paperweight. I had one for some time and I was so
glad to get a clone and sell the Sanyo (I spell it Say-No anymore). There
wasn't any support from Sanyo on them back in the mid 80's and there's
virually none
now. --------------------------------------------------------------------
