The only practical difference between the two is the number of interface
cards you can place in the instrument, and how easy they are to move...
(There are other minor differences, like power supply size, etc.)

They both use exactly the same instrument cards...

The 64100 is "portable", that is, it has a handle on it, and, IIRC
a fold-down keyboard that protects the screen and floppy drives,
though I wouldn't want to carry one a long way :-) The desktop
unit is large and quite heavy...
