They wereall dual CPU models weren't they? I thought the main difference was the 100 had the RX50 twin floppy while the 100+ had a 5 or 10mb HDD (RD50 or RD51, can't remember) and extra memory.
The colour screen from the Rainbow is still my favourite Amiga monitor 'cos it hummuses just nicely! No chance of selling but if I come across one in better nick than mine you can have the old one.
BTW, the RX50 floppy drive was v.successful and used in several other PDP, Professional and MicroVAX products....

Nope!And so far I haven't plugged it in, 'cos I wasn't sure if it needed the ROMs from the first teletext decoder.

Yup.8080 + Z80
I had the green screen monitor, twin floppies and a 10MB HDD. I used it for graphics stuff, displaying on a BBC Micro( code in the advanced user guide for the beeb, well, about 10% of what you actually need ).
Can you remember what the killer app was that shipped with it that allowed you to create a document that contained spreadsheet cells, charted info and formatted text?, when that was combined with the superb keyboard it really is a wonder that the IBM PC took off at all.
I am now kicking myself ( metaphorically ) for getting rid of it.

Rrrrrrrrrr......<wrings brain>Arseburgers....the stuff that could do that on PDPs was called AtoZ but AFAIK it didn't get onto the Rainbows. The natural followup to the Rainbow was the DECwriter, so it must've been similar s/w to that. I suspect Doogle will come up with the answer while I'm dealing with kangaroo cocks (see other posts :)
