It's been posted here before, and for some reason we ended up with the
concensus that ths machine was targetted at the Dutch market, I think
because someone in Holland has one. A list member here has one too I think.
No mention of Acorn on the case, and isn't the case painted red or
something?

Ah! A swift google turns up this (not much use to you, Tony, but there's
text there too)

which is a prophet2. I knew there was red in there somewhere :)

cheers
