Merle -
Hope this message finds you well and still working with classic computers.
In May of 2000 we exchanged some messages re the Hyperion (See below). Just
wondered if you ever solved the case of the blank screen? Since we
communicated I have acquired several of the machines, two of which work (but
interestingly require different versions of the DOS 1.25 operating system),
two of which suffer from the blank screen problem.

As I recall, ours has special software, a word
processor, a comm
programme, and something else - a database? We also have Multiplan and
perhaps Lotus floating around. I think it is one of the nicest of the
early portables.
