Subject: Epson PX-8 (Geneva) review

Allow me to clarify some of the points on the Epson Geneva/PX-8 lap
machine.
The ram disk on the standard unit may be optionally sized from 0-24K,
stealing the ram from the 64K main memory. There are several accessory
units available, including 60K or 120K ram disks as well as an MFU
(multifunction unit) that includes 60K ram disk, a 300 baud atodial
modem, and another rom socket. The latter item is not released yet,
and I am waiting for it. I agree that a ram disk accessory is a must.
There is a small program that access the built-in A to D to read the
battery voltage and graphically report the state of its charge.
Lastly, the RS-232 port is 100% standard except for the connector. The
cable is well made and connects directly to my stand-alone modem,
prionter, or computer for file transfers.
As you can tell, I'm quite happy with the PX-8.
