VALDOCS is an early example of a "works" type program for CP/M although its
most noteable module was the spreadsheet. My wife liked it much better than
Lotus 123. I have both a QX-10 and a QX-16. They are both quality boxes.
The QX-16 is especially fun because one can boot it in either CP/M or MSDOS.
I would encourage anyone to rescue examples of these fine machines. If I
didn't already have one, I would be tripping all over myself to obtain a
fully documented QX-10 for $65.00. In fact, if you decide to pass, let me
know who to contact; I wouldn't mind having a spare.

And the technical manuals - condition excellent.
Is this a computer worth salvaging? I'd likely have to pay around US$65
A quick "power search" of Deja News will tell you that this machine has
sold recently in a range from $0 to $100 (my cursory look yielded 2 for
free, 2 at $50, and one at $100).
It sounds like a nice little CP/M box with bank-switched memory that can
also run VALDOCS (whatever that is).
