As a high-spec machine the review unit was fitted with a 20MB 3.5 in floptical drive. This not only gives high-capacity floppies at a higher speed than conventional drives, but flopticals look likely to kill off the 2.88MB format which has failed to gain any ground. Without a CD-ROM drive the operating system has to be loaded over the network. The comprehensive connections beyond this fill the back of the machine. PC users will recognise the mouse and keyboard connectors, the bi-directional parallel port, and two serial ports which double as Midi in and out.
Video is matched by the audio side which has microphone, headphone, and digital audio in and out.
Two unusual options are the 3D glasses connecter and the ISDN port. This is not very much more than conventional business lines and provides a much higher throughput, but the cost of ISDN terminal adapters typically well over 1000 makes the start-up cost of at least 3000 point to point a lot less attractive. Building ISDN into the machine changes the economics substantially. The 3D glasses use an LCD shutter. The screen displays the image for the right eye and the glasses make the left lens opaque.
