I gave all of my Gavilan stuff to Uncle Roger (several totes, including
partial service manuals, some spare parts, etc.)

Is yours 8 or 16 line display?
3" (earliest)  or 3.5" drive?

A Shugart #350 drive will fit and take the Gavilan faceplate if you want
DS.
GAVILAN MS-DOS 2.11K? or above will support PC style 720K format.

Accessories include "bubble memory packs" to increase RAM,
clip-on printer (thermal + ribbon) that can work with plain or thermal
paper,  clip-on 2nd 3.5" drive, external 5.25" drive (really just a
special cable and ordinary SA400 interface drive)
