Oh. I didn't know that you were looking for BYTE.
Did you mention it
earlier and I wasn't paying attention?
No, I did not, but it would be a great source of info if they had online the
early issues :-(
I should also check the PCW and PCMag, but I have not any links to these
yet.

No, but you could ask about genuine IBM and Compaq machines.
What exactly is the purpose of your essay? How much time do you have?
It's a MSc thesis, on Retrocomputing and Recycling of home micros of the
area 1975-1995 (mostly 80s actually)
Deadline is really short, draft at the end of the month, complete
presentation in mid-October. But I need desperately any stats to build a
business model.
