Which begs the question, how rare are 128K B+ machines? We were given one the 
other day and it's the first I've ever come across (compared to 7 or 8 64K B+ 
systems in the last couple of years)

Presumably the 128K version came very late in the day and nobody bought it 
because the Master was known about and just around the corner?

(I took a gamble on saying yes to it actually, as it was described as a "128K 
model B" - I figured someone was probably confused and it was actually going 
to be just another Master 128 :)

cheers
