Maybe they're common on European gear, but the Joyce was the first 
time I'd ever seen one--they're just not what I'd consider to be a 
"universal" part.

That's a hard call--if we're talking about Z80-based CP/M machines 
(not x86 or 68K), some of the other late Japanese machines were 
pretty impressive.  The QX10 was interesting to me mostly in its non-
CPM (TP/M?) software.

But I won't get behind any particular system--there were too many of 
them.
