Known quirks
- Budget stablemate of the 170 — same chassis but passive matrix monochrome
- Passive display ghosts heavily, making scrolling painful
- PRAM battery leaks with age — inspect before powering on
- NiCad main battery long dead; most units now run plugged-in only
- No FPU on the 68030 — software that wanted one is sluggish
