Good to hear from you.  I sent you a snail mail on 2-24 not knowing if
we would be able to connect on the BBS.  In it I presented the same
offer as you responded to.  Your offer of $24.00 shipped for Magic Death
and Throne of Chaos sounds fair so I will put a check in the mail Thurs.
2-26 for the total.  I will be sending it to an address I found in one
of your ads:RR2 Box 217A Lyndonville, Vt. 05851.
Glad we finally got together on this.  Let me know when you send the
games so I can monitor from this end.  My address will be with the
check.

what you want..
It's from AT&T , I got this some time back and is almost a clone to the one's

One difference..The keyboard port is a regular DIN type instead of the
modular.
I don't know if this helps or not but I thought I would meantion it while I
