[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Vendex 888-XT

trd10523@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (02/22/89)

I recently purchased a Vendex HeadStart 888-XT (XT compatible).
I am real happy with the machine - no noncompatibility problems so far,
but I do have one problem.
Vendex offers no other manuals other than the shallow, typical manuals
that come with a new computer. I called them (they're on the east coast)
and they have no intention of making anything more technical available.

However, I have noticed STRIKING similarity between the Vendex and the
Epson Apex computers. This leads me to believe that there is one company
making them, and then other companies just stick their name on it.

Does anyone know if this is true. If it is, what is the name of the
actual manufacturer?

Please e-mail responses. Thanks in advance.
