Hmmm... ok, based on the various pictures I think
I'll concede that its
likely not a 'Datamaster'. One observation off to the side however...
Aside from the screen size and bezel, the rest of the chassis/keyboard
unit looks the same and I noted when I had the unit in my collection apart
that the monitor/bezel assembly is a removable module, so there may be
some common lineage between these two machines. (different option sets?)
Look at http://www.vintage.org for a shot of a DataMaster. The keyboard
tapers down to an acute angle. Note that the picture is reversed (the
drives actually go on the right size...don't know how that happened).
(have we officially become 'computer
archeologists' yet?)
Come to my warehouse and you will be :)
