Seem to be lots of these machines around in Florida, however seems like
knowone has ever seen documentation on them or Tech manuals on them..
I would love to even find someone that has any information on them at
all..
Perhaps you can find the "Godfather" and get some info...
Its not "Guido" is it ? <Grin>!!!

I don't know exactly where they were made originally but a place here in
Orlando called Godfather's computers bought rights to all the Columbia
stuff around 1986. Godfather's is no longer around but I may be able to
track down the owner or some of it's employees.

Does anyone have any documentation on Columbia Portable XT Computers ?
