Subject: P128K

   I was looking around a local Commadore dealership about a month ago
and saw a new Commadore machine called the P128K.  The salesman didn't 
seem to know anything about the machine but I picked up the specs from
a pamphlet.  Since I still haven't seen this beast advertised I thought
I would pass along what I know about it and hope one of you can supply
more info.

   Keyboard               reasonable, not super, fullstroke
   graphics/video         same as 64k
   RS232                  1 port, built in
   IEEE-488               built in
   Plug in ROM            don't know what size
   memory                 128K expandable to 840K
   processors
   6509                   built in,  If you know this chip please send
                          a description
   Z80                    option, will allow you to run CP/M
   8088                   option, will allow you to run CP/M86

   software               Microsoft 4.something BASIC built in

   $795                   base price

I couldn't get any info about prices or availability of the optional
processors, software or peripherals.

When I started asking questions about the machine the salesman stated
that this was a home computer, not an engineering computer or a business
computer and that technical questions were not meaningful in that context.

With 840K an 8088 and CP/M86 this could be a nice home computer.

If anyone has more info please send it along.
