Subject: Epson px-8 Geneva cp/m laptop cheap

  DAK Industries is liquidating the remaining Epson PX-8 "Geneva"
CP/M laptop computers cheap.  I have a px-8 bought several years
ago for rather more, and I like it a lot; I was sorry to hear it
had been discontinued.  So I mention this to help it get a second
lease on life in the bargain basement.  

  They list the computer itself, the 120K ramdisk unit, the multi-unit
(64k ramdisk, 300-baud modem, extra rom port), the 3.5 inch disk
drive, and some software.  They are pushing a package of the computer,
the multi-unit, and a printer for $699, which is VERY good.

  For those unfamiliar with the px-8, it's a battery operated laptop with
lcd 80x8 screen (implemented as a window over a 24x80 buffer, so normal
software will run).  Weighs maybe 5 pounds, fits into a briefcase along
with other stuff.  And it runs cp/m, so it's easy to develope software 
for it, and there's lots of commercial and pd stuff available.
