- Hmmm...512k REU Clone from SSI is $99.95 (no power supply needed).. pick
- up a used external 2400 for about $40-$50, + the interface from Tenex for
- another $25.. 1581's are $115 from Software Hut, or the CMD FD series -
- $239 for 1.6 meg or $299 for 3.2 meg... Hard drives are $300 (I think)
- for 20 megs... 80 cols for the 64? Dont think so (not yet, anyway)..
- Color monitor 'bout $75 used..
-
- Check your newspaper for the modem & monitor... much better than buying
- new.
