I have one at the moment. I would have to agree wth the comments it is big and heavy – it has a huge NiCad built in. The 600 is a curious machine, a 'missing link' from the Model T to the MS-DOS machines. I do not use it all, it needs to sit on a desk it is so heavy unlike my favorite 102 which can be used anywhere.
When the seller shipped mine they did not pack it too well and with the heavy internal battery the upper case was pretty much smashed to pieces when the NiCad battery broke free in transit. The plastic is brittle and it does break very easily. So make sure the seller packs it really well if you decide to go ahead. Getting it working was quite a challenge as it needed the case rebuilding and parts replaced due to age and the shipping disaster. The Model 600 WiKi is a good resource to start to repairs.

I liked the challenge of getting it working but in the end I didn't have a use relative to the M100. I felt similarly about the DVI. Had 2 but got passed them along eventually. A bit too big, bulky, heavy etc. On Tue, Feb 26, 2019 at 9:19 AM Tom Dison <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: There is a model 600 for sale at a good price on eBay, but I'm kind of hesitant. It seems to be quite the oddball model in the series. Does anyone have experience with it? <snip.
