As reported in our last two issues, Microbotics are readying a module
that will expand the CD³² into a full computer.  This module, called the
SX-1, is expected to appear in late April or early May.  It will be
selling for $150-$175.  We will hopefully have one to test for the next
issue.

The unit will add a floppy port, RGB port, parallel and serial ports to
the CD³² as well as provide options for adding internal or external hard
drives and a keyboard.  Word is that the unit will not interfere with the
MPEG module, so you'll still be able to watch the Video CD format movies
too. 

No word on how the death of Commodore will affect this product as it looks
like the CD³² is not going to be in production for some time, if at all. 
Without an expanding user base, this product may have a limited lifespan. 
We'll keep you updated.
