Saw these things in a second-hand store in Las Vegas the other day:
Coleco Adam
Franklin Ace 1200
Lanier <somethingorother>
(it had two 5.25" floppy drives, two LEDs, and two
rocker switches on its front panel)
CoCo 2
Although I was awfully tempted, I ended up deciding they wouldn't fit
in my luggage, so they are probably still there, at the "Faith Lutheran"
thrift store, at 707 N. Rancho.
Let the race begin!
Bill.

The Lanier unit is a dedicated word processor based on a Z-80. They came
in several flavors - soft sector disks, hard sector disks, and both
floppy and hard drive. I do not know if there was ever a CP/M version
ported to the machine or not. Lanier is now a part of Harris Corp. and
they , like many large companies, were no too helpful in my queries.
