produced a 68000 based high end graphical unit. The
only mention Ive ever heard was this dude in Australia
(who has one). Referred to it as a big loverly
toaster. Imagine being able to make fractals and cook
your English muffins with the same unit. Maybe hes on
the list and can discuss it further. I remember him
saying he managed to track down a tech who worked for
the company (wonder of wonders), but was only able to
provide the most basic info,

All,
Apologies about the delay in reply. I am slowly working back through my inbox.

Now that you mention it, the name does ring a bell.
I seem to remember tinkering with a Q22 uVax based sytem with Berkely
Systems on the nameplate. I think the system may have originally
purchased by the Physics Dept of the Uni of Western Australia. I have
have the distinct impression that the Physcology Department also had a
few Berkely Systems Vax/uVax stuff - but I could be very wrong here.
I can't say that I ever seemed to pay much attention to the
nameplates. Actually getting the machines running was always more of
an interest.
