 David,

I have tangible proof that at least part of your history is wrong. I >have 
a Comterm Hyperion, model number 3032, serial number 3008, date >code Aug. 
83, sitting in front of me right now. It is _the same >machine_ as the 
Dynalogic Hyperion. Looks just like this, except >different drive doors: 

http://www.ncsc.dni.us/fun/user/tcc/cmuseum/HYPN.HTM Proof? The name
"Comterm" on my serial number plate is actually a >metallic 
sticker; underneath it says "Dynalogic Info-Tech >Corporation, Ottawa, 
Canada". So the timeline must go:

Dynalogic
Comterm
Bytec (?? never heard of them ??)

I have _never_ heard of Commodore producing this machine - Cameron 
 Kaiser's extensive "Secret Weapon's
of Commodore" site - 
http://calvin.ptloma.edu/~spectre/ckb/secret/ - doesn't mention it 
either. I think your source got Comterm and Commodore mixed up. 
Regards,

Mark Gregory 
Well of course you wouldn't see the Commodore Hyperion listed in the SWoC! 
the SWoC page deals only with 8-bits (the C= 900 being the only exeption) & 
intentionally excludes any C= PC clones (Which the C= Hyperion *might* be). 
Anyway, I saw that computer listed the Canonical List of Commodore Products, 
so it must exist. Besides, all I know is that it *looks* like the Dynalogic 
Hyperion, I was only theorizing that it *could be* the same thing. As soon 
as I find a site/picture of it, then I can figure out if it truly is a 
Dynalogic Hyperion with a Commodore nameplate on it.
