Somewhere, possibly on trash80.org, is a writeup on why this machine came
into being - aside from it being 'cheap' I can't see the point of such a
low-spec machine, particularly since upgrading it wouldn't have been for the
faint-hearted.

Another puzzle is why mine came with a 240V printer when it was a 110V US
machine? How common is a 240V circuit over there, apart for the likes of
washing machines?

cheers
