Looks to take the same sort of cartridges as mine. Same gross two-tone
blue as well!

My concern with that one would be the lack of control panel on the unit
implying it needs some form of software on the host. Maybe nothing
more than a terminal emulator, but if it needs something else do check
if it comes with software!

Nice that it has the manuals though (mine didn't, which - coupled with
the NASA-like control panel - is the reason I haven't tried programming
any PAL chips with it yet :)

For the current bid you can't go far wrong though I suppose, maybe it's
worth the risk.

yep :) worth backing up floppy disk images of anything useful too. Then
when you start to back up hard disk images as well, things start piling
up fast...

cheers
