I've been keeping my eye on the REX as well. There are two versions, a
64k and a 256k version I believe. What would be neato is if you could
manipulate the display to display text, but I somehow get the feeling
that the REX is a hardwired device, and wont allow you to get creative
with it. Correct me if I'm wrong here. Is there a developers kit for the
REX? Perhaps that would be the ticket, provided the developers kit didnt
co$$$$$$$$t a lot. BTW, does anybody know what the screen res is on this
little gadget?
