Thanks for the tip Stan! I know absolutely nothing about the A series. I
didn't know if they were also part of the 1000 line. I appreciate your
correction. One remarkable characteristic about the 2100/21MX line is that
each sucessive machine released supported full backwards instruction set
compatibility. For instance, the 21MX M, E, and F series all are fully
backwards compatible with the 2100 instruction set (except for timing
dependent loops). Do you know if the A series also supports the 2100
instruction set?

Of course, I'd love to hear what 1000 manuals you might have!
