I recently acquired an IBM System/23 Datamaster (model
5322) computer, but I don't know anything about it.
Quoting from BYTE September 1990, from an article "The creation of the IBM
PC" by David J. Bradley (who worked on the development of both the
DataMaster/23 and the IBM PC):
==============================================================
The DataMaster was an Intel 8085-based system intended to run business
applications written in BASIC.
The one-piece DataMaster was a business-oriented single-user system. It
served as a model for many of the features of the original IBM PC. The IBM
PC keyboard came from the DataMaster.

Sorry, no scanner in the house, so I can't send you a copy.
