Notes::

The machine is the first (and only?) one to implement full IEEE
arithmetic including all bells and whistles.  The Reference Manual
includes the IEEE spec.

The PEEK$/POKE commands are carefully designed to not let you see or
change private files.

Cards hold 1.3K bytes each.  The same cards -- but not data formats --
are used with the -75*.

Current draw:
	off			 0.03 mA
	on, not running		 0.75 mA
	program running/beeper	10 mA

This and the -75D are the only machines in the database that had price
INCREASES.
