   What information is there on the CBM 900? I was
mailed by someone who has
 a working one and is looking for more information on the machine.  
	What do you need? I have the Coherent-Disk the Manual and some technical
	diagramms for the C900.

...
  Any info
 would be lovely. Btw, his machine is apparently a prototype (it says so
 somewhere -- probably a sticker or something). 
	Yes ist is a prototype. According to  Jim Brains "cbmmodel":
