A lot of these machines were sold in the UK under the name of SIRIUS 1. I have two of them here and they are used to support clients who are so fond of them that they don't want to change to PCs! There is also a company in London who specialize in parts and standard software for these machines. In the past I have written software for them as well. An important point - they are MS-DOS machines and NOT PC-DOS. There is NO IBM compatability or ROM-BIOS. Software must be of MS-DOS style to work, or else specialy written. Having said that I have Microsoft C v5.1 working happily on mine in 896Kb RAM!
