Another is a a neat portable (probably
non-working) with nothing but the word "Chisholm" on it. It looks like
a prototype judging by the number of mods to the circuit board. Any
info would be much appreciated.
You are right in thinking it's a protoype.
I used to work for Gavilan Computers back in the '80s and recall us
using Chisholm as our design house. If you can describe the unit, or
better yet post a picture, I can perhaps identify it as a Gavilan.

Wow, I think I am beginning to like this listserver! It has an LCD screen
with a decent keyboard on it. The size is approximately 12" wide x 8"
deep x 5" high and the LCD screen folds up typical of a portable. It has
a couple of standard bus size cards (one is missing) but uses the header
type connector (2 x 50?) instead of the gold fingers to plug into the
backplane. If this is a Gavilan, are docs, schematics, and parts still
available?
One of the things on my wish list is a digital camera so I can easily
digitize photos of stuff like this.

New subject: TRS-80 - buy,sell, and trade
Howdy folks:
I am wondering if anyone out there on this listserve has any Radio Shack
TRS-80 they'd like to give up... either for sale or trade. I collect a lot
of different things and have Apple, Commodore, Texas Instruments, Colour
Genie, MSX, Vectrex, etc., etc... but, my true life-long love has been the
TRS-80 Model 1,3,4 line... and now the CoCo line of computers.
I am especially looking for any old TRS-80 related magazines: especially
80-Micro, 80-US Journal, and TRS-80 Microcomputer News.
I have been archiving software for all these machines, and especially the
TRS-80s for about 10 years now. I do have a huge 65 page catalog of
everything in my collection. If you'd like to see it just let me know and
I'll ship it out. I do not have it in electronic form... only available
through USPS.
It contains all my classic computer hardware, as well as all my software
in original disk, tape, cartridge, etc., forat, as well as already
converted to run on modern PC emulators.
If you would like to get the catalog even quicker, send me $3 to the
address below. It actually costs me $3.24 to mail, and more to publish,
but it sure would help me out.
As far as the software that I have, I like to believe that I have
virtually most things ever written for the TRS-80s, but I know there is a
lot more out there. If you have some software of old disk, cassettes, etc.
please let me know. As always, I am enternaining expanding my hardware
collection as well at all times. I currently have 7 TRS-80 Model 3, 2
Model 1, 4 Model 4s, 3 Model 4ps, and several Commodore 64s, Texas
Instruments, 1 Coco 1, 4 CoCo 2, and 1 CoCo 3.
I just love collecting these things and would love to hear from others as
to what you might have available to expand my collection... or just to
hear what interesting things you have.
Thanks a lot, and hope to hear from you soon!

Like many others, I had a TRS-80 as my first desktop computer. I have
a series of magazines called Computronics - The Original Magazine for
TRS-80 Owners. August 1981 - August 1983 - about 24 issues in mint
condition - one or two missing in the series and some duplicate
issues.
