Hmmn, never heard of it, but it looks interesting. Is that a ROM burner built into it? Looks like a socket above the drives. I'd say with manuals & software, it's probably worth at least $100.00US, or whatever that comes to in Euros, mebbe even more. A burner alone would cost that much.

I found some more info here:

Might give it a try, its at 34 euros now (about $45)

Oh, yeah! I may have been way off in my estimate. I wouldn't be surprized to see it go into the several hundreds range.

It's pretty much an ongoing debate...and has been for the past 20 years or so.
