This is in reference to a posting about the Vendex VTI-55-AT clone.
It sounded like a pretty good system to me (and at a good price).
I'd like to know if anyone has info on Vendex and this system.
Also I need an address and phone number for Vendex.
Thanks in advance for any info.

I recently purchased the Vendex VTI-55 AT clone. So far I am pleased the system. My only complaint to this point is the fixed disk installed in the system is a Western Digital custom RLL drive. The controller is very slow. Rates about the same as a XT drive. Other than that the system is well constructed and has worked fine so far. Vendex's parent company is Samsung, as a matter of fact the computer has the Samsung S550 model number stamped on the back.
