I thought the people on the CPM list would be interested in this marvelous opportunity I noticed in the "Summer Supplement Special" catalog from American Design Components, a surplus dealer... CP/M COMPUTER... Tinkerer's Dream High Resolution! Graphics Capability! Manufactured for Corpis in Sweden. Supplied with CP/M operating system disk (in Swedish). Operates on 115V or 230V. Built-in printer output (serial or parallel). Hook-up diagram included! 256K, expandable (chips must be hard-wired in). Complete with 15" monochrome monitor (amber). 93-key Swedish keyboard (most characters are in English) & CPU (disk drives not included!) Uses 1 or 2 DS/Quad Density Disk Drives. Item #21934 New - $199.00 There are some disk drives shown below this ad, which cost about as much as the system does. I just liked the bit about the OS in Swedish being included on a disk when no disk drives were provided, and the keyboard characters being "mostly in English".. Funny, I never thought that "A" "B" "C", etc., were "in English"... :-) If anybody really wants one of these things, give ADC a call: American Design Components 815 Fairview Ave. PO Box 220 Fairview, NJ 07022 800-524-0809 (in NJ, 201-941-5000) Ooops -- almost forgot their footnote: "Manufacturer's Close Out -- Not IBM Compatible -- We cannot accept returns on this item!"
