   Don's right. I have the 802H manual in front of me and the 802H is a
short wide box with a built-in 12" CRT on the right and a FH 5 1/4" floppy
drive mounted horizontaly on the left. The drive is mounted near the the
top and it looks like there's room for another drive below it. The front
that surrounds the drive and CRT and the drive itself appear to be black
and the rest of the case looks like it's a cream color. The Televideo
nameplate is centered below the CRT. The whole thing has a definite offset
appearance. The keyboard is separate. It's face and keys are black and the
case is the same cream color. The manual gives the dimensions as 7 1/4"
tall, 17 1/2" wide and 16 7/8" deep. It weighs 44 pounds. I can provide
other details if anyone needs them.

  I'd like to have a 802H, if anyone comes across one let me know.
