Re: wierd II clone

[Doug Browning <wpg750@mb.imag.net>]

That sounds a lot like the clone I have collecting dust (it has a dead power supply). It has
basic/dos.3.3 keywords on the number keys (you pressed the control key along with the key for the
word you wanted), one macro even ran a color test. It also has a numeric keypad (with more macros
on the keys, the color demo was on the "0" key) and cutouts on the sides of the case to fit db9
connectors. Inside, there was a z80 co-processor, but there was no slot #4. The keyboard/display
was able to do upper/lower case characters (a caps lock key was combined with the power light).
