A friend of mine ran a software house that did games

me it was cheaper to buy two surplus-stock Einsteins, each with two
double-sided 3" drives, than one Amstrad with one drive.
I've certainly seen Tatung monitors (and maybe even a terminal) from
that time here in the USA, but was the Einstein ever marketed in the
US? I don't recall seeing it--maybe "Einstein" was a trademarked
name.
