1526.0. "DIGITAL HINOTE VP SOUND" by KYOSS1::MCFADDENJ () Sat Mar 15 1997 02:57

    Can anyone tell me if the Digital Hinote VP model FR-PA6WF-AA also
    known as an LSS5120 does or does not have sound capabilities?
    
    thanks,

1526.1Probably notPCBUOA::BAYJJim, PortablesWed Mar 26 1997 19:3010
    My guess (and this is just a guess) is that it does not.  Sound,
    infrared, and active matrix are usually (but not always) bundled.  In
    VTX PRICE, the FR-PA6WF-BB is listed as DSTN.
    
    If I knew exactly what an LSS5120 is, I could probably say for sure,
    but that model predates me, and there isn't a lot of old information
    laying around on the webpages.

    	Specific to Digital, Jim, or generally speaking?
    
    	My Twinhead Slimnote has IR and 16-bit sound but is dual scan.

    Specific to Digital.  
    
    I just found an old PCs Compleat catalog, and the generic phrase there
    is:
    
    	SOUND FEATURES     16-bit sound on P120 Active Models
    
    And, since there are no 8-bit sound models, I think that would be that.
    
    Its unfortunate that we consider that anyone that wants a high quality,
    high-resolution display must, by default, want the highest end machine
    with all the most expensive features.  I personally consider a TFT
    display mandatory for ANY machine, from a 486 on up.
    
    Can I safely assume that .0 was looking at the PCs Compleat $1299
    special in the March catalog?
