- Yes, you're right. I forgot that the II started out as Z-80. All I really
- remembered was that it wasn't directly compatible with the I and that at some
- point it had a 68000 (as an upgrade option). But all of those machines had
- 8" floppy drives, I'm pretty sure. The hard disk I was speaking of was called
- the ProFile (I think).
