Dayna MacCharlie is what you are thinking of..
Hang the Mac as a terminal on an Ampro Littleboard, but market it as "a
drive for the Mac that gives it PC capabilities". Clever marketing.
Personally, i like the amstrad pcw's. Sold as a
cheap wordprocessor, it
also came with cp/m,a strong basic and a dot matrix printer for as
little as ?200.
Despite the awful monitor, non standard floppy's and lack of standard
ports was good value
Aww.
3" and 3.25" floppies aren't really "non standard". Try
3.9"
