I am a doofus - it's .html and not .htm. Curse micros~1 and it's stupid
naming conventions!

Yours is the ABC-310 innit? I thought the 210 was the workstation.....not
that it matters of course :) There's a screen in the case aye, and an
analogue board that's different to the rest of 'em.

Fingers crossed then, though can't I dump the ROMs of mine? I thought the
main difference between the 210 and 310 was a 286 copro and DOS instead of
the 32016 and PANOS.

You can come and get it any night this week, just give me a call and I'll
give you directions. Help me disassemble it for photographic purposes....

I'm sure there's summat that can be sacrificed for the ABC :) Between us
we might be duplicating stuff so we can sort it out when you get the
machine.

Cool. That'll only leave the 1400XL then (and 1450XLD, hehehe) but I
s'pose I've got not much hope of getting my paws on one of those!
