Corona Data Systems was ONE of about half a dozen that IBM went after in

Ah HA! another machine that Sellam doesn't have!
I think that I saw one a few years ago. You're not going to like
WHERE. (VCF)
Wasn't
that [Dynalogic Hyperion] one of the ones that IBM shut down
for being TOO
compatible?
I think that was the Corona Data Systems one. They just copied the ROMs
from what I've been told. The only one
from that period that approached 100% compatability would be
the Coby (luggable case resembling an Otrona for holding an IBM
motherboard)
Never heard of it.
