Using sales on eBay,,
Hi - 60$US
Low - 20$US

It's a DOS/WIN 3.1 speed machine,, so there is not a lot of market..

If you are near a big school,, someone needs a typewriter,, put it on the b-board at the book store....

Good Luck.
Jim

Your rite about it being released with win 98,, but it sucked the big weenie.. I spent a lot hours striping out 98 and reinstalling dos/win 3.1 on a bunch of machines,, it was quicker and more(relative) stable,, and because of the limited mem you could run faster & bigger spread sheets in DOS..

They are not bad machines,, it's just hard to make one usefully with todays LP's..
