Supposedly so, according to some of the tech data I had and the write ups in the
now defunct Soft Sector magaizine put out specifically for the 55x series by
Falsoft Publishing in Louisville. The Say-no 55x machines were essentially half
Apple/half IBM. If you ran a graphics program on it that was direct address IBM
video calls, watch for a lockup. Sanyo eventually came out with a $250 CGA adapter
that also increased the ram. It was called a VB something, I don't remember now. I
haven't had a silver demon around now since 92 and there are no scars either, other
than the mental memories of a machine that makes the Edsel look like a Corvette.

that are three place 55x series model numbers. It
ran an 8088 4.77mhz
processor, had Apple bitmap graphics, Apple style DIP joystick plugin,
What do you mean by "Apple bitmap graphics"? As in the graphics could be
programmed the same as on the Apple ][? Don't get it.
