   Hallo Ron,

   If you have a RC2014 with the 512k ROM/RAM module and RomWBW, the     
   difference isn't that big.   
   The main advantages of the SC126 are (in my opinion):   
   - faster CPU, but if you want to play games that are specific to a certain     
   CPU speed, it might be too quick...   
   - SD card support, but the SD card is slower than the CF module of the     
   RC2014   
   - software controllable serial port speed   
   - it has 8 LEDs which can be controlled by software, no extra module     
   needed   
   - two ROM chips instead of one, selectable via jumper   
   - all in one package :)   
      
   In my opinion, most of the things can be added to a RC2014 as well, even     
   the Z180 is available as a module afaik.   
   The software controllable serial port speed is also possible with a CTC     
   and SIO/2 module from Steve Cousins.   
      
   For some people, the most important factor is the "all in one" package.   
      
   I've added some modules to my SC126:   
   - VT132 terminal module   
   - WD floppy controller (+ 3,5" drive)   
   - additional bus module with:   
   - SC104 SIO/2 module   
   - IDE module (+ hard drive)   
   - YM sound card   
      
   *g*   
      
   Regards,   
   Anna
