I know a bit, which is why I wanted to know if any were available, and how
much they cost when they are.  The "Darth Vadar" model was and Apple ][+
made for Bell & Howell not long after the + was introduced.  Bell & Howell
sold them to schools, as they were a major supplier to the market - and
this is, arguablly, part of the reason Apple gained such a good position
in the educational market.  They were also sold through B&H's home
electronics courses.  The B&H Apples differed by a) having a Bell & Howell
name plate, b) a full year warranty instead of the normal (at the time) 90
days, and, most importantly, c) being black.  Hence the Darth Vadar tag.

I want one. :)
