Televideo TelePC info wanted

by bobyates＠steward-net.com

Anyone have information on one of these? I found a French web site and was able to figure out a little info but would like to know more. It does boot up and ask for a boot disk. -- A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. Source: Lazarus Long in Time Enough For Love by Robert Heinlein

Northstar Horizon.

by geoffr＠zipcon.net

Just picked one up and it looks pretty sweet, I chose one with a HD controller in it :) and a 5 or 10 meg HD :) it came with a spare HD controller, so that's pretty sweet too, I just wish that it had also had the wood case on it...
