     text: These are 5''1/4 diskdrives (320kb each). F1 has the disk-controller built-in and can be connected directly to the computer, whereas F2 is a stand-alone disk-drive and has to be linked to F1 (thus the disk controller) to be used.

-    text: My very first programming job, when I was 19, was programming accounts receivable, sales lead tracking, and creating some spreadsheets on a Royal Alphatronic PC in 1986, in Peabody at the New England Home Planning Center, a place that sold modular homes. 33 years later and I''m still hacking. All the coding I did on this thing was in Beginners All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. I forget the name of the software, but PeachTree rings a bell. Would love to find one on eBay for a trip down memory lane.
