Ah yes, forgot about the 81... The range back then was low end 81, mid
range 82, and top of the range 85. I guess that's why I went for the 82
back then, same as 81, but more memory, faster processor clock and...
serial link ! Bloody thing cost me an arm and a leg IIRC, then I had to
sell the other leg to get the serial cable pack to go with it... only to
discover 10 years later, that you can make a 'DIY' cable for peanuts,
and get the software for free on Linux ! Ah well... :-)
