I saw the graphics card last Saturday.  It's real, takes a keyboard,
and was running multi-windowing ConcurrentDOS.  It was using a NEC
monitor, not of good resolution, so there was some alignment problem
at the upper left corner of the screen.  Windows could be moved with
cursor keys (probably also by mouse, but we didn't have one).  For
serious or extended work, I would recommend not using color, as the
resolution is pretty bad.  That could be the 640x200 limitation, or
the monitor; or both.

We were using the top-of-the-line Keytronics keyboard, and my friend
Ed was of the opinion that the next model lower down in the line would
have sufficed; the one he had was overly fancy.

SuperCalc3 needs MSDOS 2.0, and therefore wouldn't generate graphics.
Lotus 1-2-3 ran.  (That was a surprise).  (This all hearsay from Ed,
my Compupro system center friend.  I wasn't able to stay too long.)
We're still trying various packages.  dBase3 didn't run.

Ed recommends Alloy for cartridge tape backup.  Says they're now
reliable and easy to use.

If anyone has corrections to the above, please let me know.  I'd like
more information myself.
