   Well if you like that kind of stuff, there's a LNW 80 for sale in a
surplus store here (Skycraft, in Orlando, Florida) for $25.  It's another
TRS clone but it's supposed to have the interfaces and extra memory
built-in.  Comes complete with a couple of manuals.  I know very little
about the TRS stuff and nothing  about this clone so if you have questions
post them to the list and see if someone else can answer them.

Sure we've heard of this.  You Aussie blokes have been talking about the
Dick Smith systems for a while now.

  UNIVAC
 (CPM box, looks like a terminal) 
Believe it or not I have heard of this.  I think some other feller from
down under mentioned it at some point.

  OSI C4P
 (looks like a SOL termianl computer, dont know anything else about it?
 anybody else know anything about it??) 
Ohio Scientific Challengers are no secret.
