- I couldn't imagine there is enough demand to warrant the large amount
- of effort and testing it would take to create a new daughter board (there would
- also probably have to be ROM changes). Not that many 100s were sold, and most
- of the people who bought them wanted a portable for just word processing, so
- accelerators would be unwarranted.
