I dunno--I might disagree with that one. :) The 8820 looks big and
boxy.
I'll have to post some photos of my 1979 Durango 900--a little bigger
than a DECwriter, with two 980K floppies; or one floppy and a 40MB
hard disk, multipass dot matrix printer with downloadable fonts
(tractor or friction feed), 4 async serial ports, 1 sync port and
optional GPIB--all in the same box. Up to 256KB memory, switchable
in 1K pages. Ran CP/M, MP/M and its own MT OS. Ran the complete set
of MCBA business apps.
