Okay, I'll bite: what's a Zorba?
Suitcase luggable, CP/M, much like the Kaypro. The company that made the
Zorba was supposedly coming out with another model, but I don't know if
they ever did.

Well, actually they had two models. The Zorba and the Nomis.
The Nomis (Simon spelled backwards) was just a 98tpi Zorba.
They had a third model designed (kind of like the Osborne Executive)
which had user loadable terminal emulation as well as floppy emulation,
but it never got out.

I heared the Zorba was build to fit some Army specs that an Osborne
can't do ... don't know if it's true, but at least I whish I had one.

They did show it in a jeep in the Gemini ad but it wasn't really
built like a tank. (Which is how I can usually tell mil-spec hardware).
I might be willing to unload mine. When I hear one went for $400 on E-Bay.
I think, HEY -- NEXT BUYER -- HERE I AM...
I've even got the prints and manuals.

Next buyer, next price - but to keep you happy, I'll
keep the numbers you used - so whats about USD 4.00 ?
I've even got the prints and manuals.
Jep, should be included at this high price for shure .)
