Meade Digital Series Refractors

Anybody know anything about these ?

A 4" ( DS-90EC or DS-114EC ?? ) has shown up on the local auction site with the electronic Autostar control etc. Focusser rack apparently has a little damage to a few teeth but I am more interested as what the optics are like. It's quite an old model I gather, late 90's maybe. There is very little on the Meade site and although I found the manual other htan aperture it doesn't give much on the specifications.

A longish focal length 4' refractor looks like a nice option if the optics are reasonable. I am not expecting APO quality but a good Achromatic would be useful.
