< The LE I have has a built in hard drive (20 Mb), which I had to deep
< format once (involves going to DEBUG, and typing in an address or
< something like that). I haven't really used it in about 2 years or so, b
< as far as I know it still works.

Model E I believe, I added a WD1002/st251 it runs and runs. Format from
Debug is C800:5. I have a utility called HDinit for that too.

< My interest in collecting these particular computers (PC Clones) has les

Did a bit of that.

< That was in reference to Infoworld, which got a lot of angry letters fo

Clonism i'm sure. If it wasn't PC it was a abomination.
