I'm curious if it is built in Australia, or if it is an oddball Korean
PC. While working @ Ultimate many years ago, someone wanted a Hangul
terminal, and when it showed up it was a really odd unit with 3 1/2 inch
side by side floppy drives. I had at the time been using Dos enough
that I could guess what most messages were even though they were in Hangul.
It hooked up via both serial and 3270 interfaces. Wish I could have
snagged it, but it was sent off somewhere in the US for other vendors to
work on it, and probably scrapped there, as there was little chance of
it going back to Korea.

Howzbout PC/JX? NOT available EVER in USA, but
legit IBM machine with
720K 5.25" drives available.
I have an IBM JX (in Australia).. Nicely built
machine, but rather useless.
Of the few I have seen (including mine) they all look like they have never been used,
probably because there isn't a great deal of software they can run. Surprisingly the
infra red keyboard actually works ok.
