Jon Auringer (of Madison, WI) mentioned having one of
these on this list in 2004.
I got my unit directly from Jon when i was on a work trip to Madison
but he didn't have any floppies for it then.
Now, thanks to Al, I can burn some floppies and do more than interact
with the ROMs.
It's basically a generic 6502 with 64K of DRAM, 1-2 floppies (mine has
2) and as Al mentioned, an oddball sync-serial disk interface and
boots up to an OS that favors p-System PASCAL apps.
Definitely obscure.
