Anybody else have one of these? Brother had several models of the Super PowerNote: the PN-8500MDS, the PN-8510MDS, the PN-8700MDS with built-in modem and Bookman card slot, and the PN-8800FXB with modem, Bookman card slot, and infrared port. All have a 3.5" 1.44MB DOS-format floppy drive, a non-backlit monochrome 640x176 (80 column x 22 row) LCD, 64 KB of RAM with 32 KB usable, and a Hitachi HD64180 "Super Z80" processor running at 6 MHz.
Amazingly, Brother still had the manual and software disk for it, at very reasonable prices ($5 for the manual and less than $2 for the disk, plus shipping). So now I have the "Turnabout" game (a Reversi clone) than the 8510 came with, but I'm still looking for the Tetris game that the 8700 and 8800 models came with, since Brother doesn't have the disk for those models, and the one web site which had it available for download years ago no longer exists.
