Ken,
Yes, the label is the only difference on the computer that I can see. Of
course, the box had all the extra olympic tie-in stuff.
No, I don't have the fabled two drive DX-64... this was a modification I did a
few years back. You can read about it on my project page:
http://www.6502.org/users/sjgray/myprojects.html
AFAIK, Commodore never marketed the DX although I understand a few prototypes
escaped. I did exhaustive browsing to find more info about it but could only
find a small reference on the Secret Weapons of Commodore site
(http://www.floodgap.com/retrobits/ckb/secret/). One other thing I did find is
a line art drawing of the DX on none other than the "Executive 64" product
procure I collected at a World of Commodore show long ago, which I scanned and
can be seen here:

(notice the "DX" on the back of the keyboard).
Steve

the Plus/4 today. I took a look at some of the photos you have of your
CBM/Amiga collection. Very nice. :)

owned (some years ago) was one from the USA.

shows 2 floppy drives. Did you modify that one yourself or is that "as
original"? I recall them announcing a dual-floppy version of the SX-64 at
the time but thought they had decided against it.
