This is execellent information Doug, Thanks very much. I printed the
discussion of the above web site for keeping with the unit. I try to get as
much information as possible whenever I find such a rare find (At least What
I thought was Rare) <Grin>

Do you know how many Adam Osborne produced, and was it before Zenith got into

An IRS computer Huh!! And the Navy to, very interesting..
