Still got the Commodore 128 running on the other desk.  Great for quickie
text editing and boots in 4 seconds ready to load and run in 80 column.
Also, has a 1977 rom chip o.s. copyrighted by an unknown company called
Microsoft Corporation of New Mexico.

Still do not have had anyone answer my query about detachable CD burners
that Redhat 8 will be useable with.
