exchanges. All of the models are directly or indirectly
connected to a host computer. Some of the models, such as model
1050 contain color CRT's, while others such as the 1030 series,
use monochrome CRT's. The accessories and components used with
these units includes such items as keyboards, bar code wands,
tilt/swivel bases, fans, cables, software disks, and manuals.
