Review of the 30b: 30b review

Review of the 20b in Datafile: 20b review

The big problems with the BAII Plus family are that the keyboard response is crap (no two-key rollover, and missed fast repeated keystrokes), and it's got no rubber feet (so you'll be chasing it all over the desk). I'd take an original 10B or 14B over one of those any day.
