They are pretty machines, most definitely.
In the "odd PCs" department, I have to mention the Seequa
Chameleon. It has an 8088 and a Z80, so it can run DOS, CP/M-80, or
CP/M-86. A friend and mentor had one when I was in my teens
(mid-1980s) and I got to use it a fair bit. I really liked it. The
display (green) was bright and sharp, and the keyboard had a nice
feel. As a "luggable", the mechanical design was similar to that of
the Kaypro systems, but if memory serves, it was slightly smaller. A
good machine overall. I hope to have one here someday; that will
certainly bring back some memories.
