Hi
I bought the VZ200 on Ebay. I seem to always have competition when I buy
computers on Ebay. I don't think $91 is a lot for what I got although it was not
tested.

It works, the case has some burn markings but does not look too bad. Both the
computer and memory have "EB300520Q" etched on them( Some sort of QLD drivers
licence?)

The computer also came with the original demo tape, a tennis tutorial and a
blank tape (to be investigated)

One particular thing that I found interesting is that the attenna lead had a
300ohm transformer, something I have not seen since I had my VZ200 running on my
black and white TV in the 80's.

There are not too many things you can buy for $91 that can bring so many happy
memories and kickstart an interest in 8 bit programming.
