The only mention of the S16 that I can find is from an August, 1983
"New Scientist" article--something about the London Computer
Marathon, in which the S16 and the Olivetti M20 were the 16-bit
finalists. A note is made that the S16 is imported, presumably from
Japan.
Given the early date, I wonder if the S16 wasn't a re-badged NEC
PC9801E?
What color is the faceplate? If it's not black, but beige, that
would go toward confirming my suspicions.
