Are there any differences between the 4000 and the 1200 other than the speed of the CPU, the slots, and the higher density floppy? Are they equally compatible (or incompatible, depending on your pov) with older programs? I'm guessing that the 1200 may be a bit more compatible just because of the 020 processor (instead of 040), but don't know if that's really the case. I read that the 4000 is capable of playing complex animations out to tape in real time, is the 1200 equally capable? I know it has the same graphics chips which imply it can do the same, but I thought the slower processor may prevent that capability in the 1200. ===Scott
