Yup, We were a service center that was setup in advance. Still have the
schematics somewhere.

Well, I've done it now. I put an old Eagle
computer up for auction,
and I included a bit of history about "Eagle Conmputer",
but now I wonder if I goofed up big-time on the history.
As I recall, Many many years ago (around 1982?) I read in InfoWorld that
Eagle Computer's president met a tragic end, just after the company went
public, or get a big bunch of financing, or somesuch.
I think it was right before they went public, but my memory is hazy, too.
It wasn't my area of interest back then... I was in to 8-bit toys.
"Big Micros" were too expensive for me, and I was barely into 12-bits
at the time.
But now as I search the Web, I can't find any
trace of this news item.
Did I imagine it? Have I got the wrong company? Anybody recall?
I remember it, too. I worked for a guy in 1988 who had an Eagle. It
was PeeCee like on the inside, but the case was entirely different,
including the mounting brackets on the ISA cards.
