Kim,
       I haven't seenit because it has not been fully marketed.  Some computer
stores have demos in, but thats about it.  I call around about it and I talked
to a few friends and here is what I found:

       The Access will cost around $2400 - $2500
       It will have 64K of RAM + 8K of EPROM
       It will run CP/M 80 [3.0 when it comes out]
       It will have the modems as I said, though I still don't know about the baud
       It will have an 80 column printer with graphics, I think it is a 
Prowriter striped down and built into the Access's case
       And it will have an 80x24 AMBER CRT.
       
       The keyboard is VT100 type low-profile with all the special function keys,
ESC, CTL, DEL,
etc...
       2 RS232 ports, 1 Centronics, and one IEEE 488 port finish up the package.
 The disk drives
are as I said, 5 1/4, DD DS.  and an option to add an 8 inch drive externially...

       That all I have on it for now...  Check back with me in a few days for
more, or I'll
let you know..
