Well, this particular unit had a color raster monitor and a 5 inch
floppy drive vertically mounted in the monitor portion. Any idea which
model it was. I think there were also 3 different keyboards as options
for it.

The models are Compucolor II and 8051. I recall they had vector
color
monitors, which are not easily replaced, which accounts for
their
scarcity. Note that they're on my want list. If you find one,
please
let me know.

Subject: Compucolor
Hey guys, is there any information on a machine called
"Compucolor"
from
the late 70's around?
I did a search on a couple engines and came up with nothing.
I'm
asking because about 3 years ago, I let a working
machine slip
through
my hands (I had actually programmed on that same
machine back
in '79)
Next month, when I go back home, I'm going to
launch an effort
to find
it (if it hasn't been thrown away).
Thanks,
Matt Pritchard
