Go up one level in this thread


Actually, I mis-spoke.  Upon further inspection, the box does have a decal that
was pasted over the Excel 68000 graphics that does say it's a Mach II 6097, but
it does not mention the LA tournament.  The manual is for an Excel 68000

ALL excel manuals are exactly the same ..68K MACH II,and MACH III

i even think the Excel Mach IV has the same manual but i would have to check to
be sure

you have a great memory and a VERY rare computer with the SE12
you are the only other person to have a SE12 other then me that i know of
all of the information you just qouted is exactly correct and i have to say i am
 impressed(if that means anything)

dont worry about this manual either
all SC12 computers(SC12,sc12B,SC12C,SE12 and SX12) have the same manual
the only difference between all of the computers is the clock speeds
