It's an Atari ST based on 68030. It has built-in SCSI, AppleTalk, and MIDI
interfaces. I have a CD-ROM full of ST stuff--that will keep me busy for
days. The GUI seems to be built into the ROM.
Vector Graphics Model 4. Unfortunately, the system is dead when I got
around to test it--no display and the disk drive just clicks.
It looks much like the production IIc but without all the glamor. For
example, the top is smooth, unlike the ribbed vent you find on the
production ones. I will be glad to take some digital photos and email them
to you, if you are interested.

I just tried it yesterday. Pretty cool. The Z80 is in the cartridge. The
package comes with a CP/M 2.2 diskette for 1541 and a condensed CP/M manual
by Commodore (copyright 1983). There is a K-Mart price tag on the original
box that reads $54. Not bad.
accessories including a CP/M cartridge for C64
A CP/M _carthridge_? Awesome. o 1 Atari
520ST (dead--for parts), 1 Atari 1040ST, 1 boxed Atari Falcon030,
What's a Falcon030? o 1 Vector 4
What's that? o 2 Apple
IIc's, one of them is a rare prototype
What's the prototype like? I would be totally interested in seeing a
picture of this and hearing more detail about it.
