The Corona Data Systems portable is a bit historic in that they copied the IBM PC BIOS without license from IBM and got sued out of existence.

If you folks would like to have it, I will send it. I may be able to dredge up an owner's guide or the like, if you think it would be worth the effort. I haven't had the heart to discard it; it had the most readable display I have ever had for word processing. I used Multimate, of course, to go with the Wang system at work. If you wish, I'll grub around for the program floppies for Multimate. Let me know at your convenience what to send and where. My wife will be so thrilled! John A Fenker P.O.
