I've got one of these cuties (monochrome monitor), but no

message of any sort. Is this normal with a non-Sanyo disk,
or does it have a problem?
I remember seeing one of these babies at the UC Irvine
computer store when it was brand-spanking new. As I recall,
it could output text *almost* as fast as a Commodore 64
did.
(I exaggerate. It was pretty much even.) But it
looked cool and had a non-toy disk drive that didn't sound
like a machine gun on each power-up. :-)
If I recall correctly, it was an MS-DOS system, so unless
their
BIOS was seriously broken, it should run generic MS-DOS if
not
PC-DOS.
Have you done a Google search for info. on the Web?
Perhaps there are DIP switches to set or your drive is
just dead?

Anybody have a boot disk, and if so, can it be tele-disked
or would I need the physical diskette?
TIA,
