one of a kind ! Notice the "m" sticker on the "m"-button, and there is a long arrow showing med where the zip drive is connected. Accessibility options?  To the right I've written "jsr-r15" -- anyone know what this means? I remember I bought and used Blitz Basic 2 so I guess it is related to that. |
