I've been watching the Altair, IMSAI, and SOL-20
listings on
eBay lately, more out of curiosity to see what they go for than
anything else, but noticed something odd about a SOL-20 image. In
the listing, the picture definately showed a SOL-20, but instead of
the normal front panel showing 'SOL Terminal Computer' in both white
and yellow lettering, this machine has a single 'Interactive
Computer' in whie stylized 'computer font' across the front. Is this
an OEM version of the SOL-20 sold under another name? The URL for
the image in question is:

That's very interesting. I've never seen this before. I'll fire off a
note to Lee Felsenstein (the designer) to see if he can shed some light on
it.
