Anyone know anything about the Sanyo MBC-3000? It's a desktop (like a
TRS-80 Model II, kinda) with a built-in monitor and two vertical 8" drives
on the right. I think it's a CP/M machine, but I'm not sure. (All I found
on the web was a place in Aus that can do data conversions.)

Yes, it is CP/M. Uses 256 x 26 sector DSDD diskettes.

New subject: IBM Convertible Parts Needed and other Nifties
Received some fun free things today. I got an IBM Convertible that works
but appears to have no ports for things like printers, serial, etc. What
info can anyone give me about this machine and does anyone have the
expansion chassis that apparently plugs on the back?
I also received two Commodore SFD-1001 drives (the IEEE-488 things that
look like a 1541). Anyone have an IEEE adapter for a C64, etc?
Thanks...

I have a couple different modules for that machine. It's a ridiculous
contraption because, depending on how many add-ons you have plugged in,
you could end up with a 2 foot long "lap-top". I'll check if I have any
documentation for the thing.

Yow! Such a score! 1Mb FD storage for Commodores! These are pretty

You know, these sometimes show up for sale in comp.sys.cbm, but they
too are VERY scarce. I have been searching for something similar but
even more rare: IEEE-488 for the VIC-20! These beasties exist, but I
have never actually seen one.
