It was "blue tag" day at the thrift store - 50% off. I found this black box with a 9" crt, telephone and floppy drive. There was a bit of thermal fax paper hanging out the back and the top lifted off to reveal a paper input hopper. The whole thing seems to be a piece of office equipment, c. 1990, consisting of an integrated phone, fax and 8086-based PC. Locating and removing the kilogram of metric screws reveals a 40-pin drive interface (with a Fuji FK311X-50R drive attached), a 720K Sony floppy, a bunch of 64K DRAM zips, an externally accessible 27C1024 EPROM and the general sorts of things one finds in an 80x6-based box. Does anyone have any information on this guy? Web searching for keywords like Sanyo and Navigator comes up with *lots* of hits, but none useful. One problem with this unit - the crt has a collapsed display - all the video signal is shown one pixel tall. I know it's likely to be a very simple fix, but I'm not an awesome TV repair dude. The interface between the CRT and the CPU is a single, proprietary cable. Other than the lack of video, the box seems to boot. The hard disk makes proper sorts of noises and the caps lock, scroll lock and num lock keys all make the lights go on and off.
