I have recently purchased ont of Commodores orphan
computers the B128, and I am desperatly lacking any
documentation about this system. Please not that it is
NOT a C128, but a system that Commodore almost go to the
market 3 years ago.
So I was wondering if anyone else on the net has one,
or knows where I can lay my hands on a copy of any documentation
reguarding this system.
Please mail any responses directly, and if enough interest
is shown I'll post a summry to the net.

The machines were to be the successors to the PET/SUPER PET/8032 series. They never made it into full production, and the associated floppy drives, and the 8088/MSDOS adapter board were never released. About 2 to 3 years ago, the remaining units were surplused. Reasonably complete documentation was turned over to a users group in the Midwest, so I would give them a try. Unfortunatly, none of the people who worked on the machine are still at Commodore. Here is the group's address - don't know if it's current: Chicago B128 User's Group - International 4102 N.
