yes this was what i remembered ,that the Super F's were identical(program wise)
to Super Experts
but in my question i confused the Super F's with the Regular F's


i am looking through a Novag catalogue from 1987 and it shows that the Forte B
is very similar to the Connie Expert

both have:
65C02 proccesors
64 KB
5 Mhz clockspeed

differences:
Book FB-20K
BOOk CE-22K

and some minor differnces in features

its interesting because the SSDF only rates a Connie  Expert 4 MHZ  but of
course the CE was mainly released at 5MHZ

they do not rate a CE 5 Mhz at all but jump to the Forte A  then B then to SE/SF

Best
