	What happened with Digital House?
	Anyway, another thing I should have mentioned on the tp-500 list is
that the external floppy used with the 500 is identical to the one
used for the 701, 510, and 560. The cable for the 500 is unique, but
once you've got that you can find the floppy fairly easily - even from
IBM.
	As for Windows 95, the TP 500 runs it quite nicely, with the only
problem I've ever seen being that the system detects the occasional
phantom left-mouse button press. Nothing too massive, because of the
RAM limit, but all in all it runs 95 fine.
