This Company's products are also scarce on the web - maybe they were just
"another clone" (although luggable). A year or so ago I located a prior
employee who gave some background, including that he might still have the schematics. They
were made 1984-86.
I've had no interest in the Visual 1083 I want to place, but I'm hoping a touch of
off-brand discussion might change that.
-------------------- my earlier post:
I want to find a home for my 5150 and a few other items. Prefer a collector
rather than ebay, but I would still hope to get a nominal consideration in
return. I'm in South Carolina.
[] IBM PC (5150) set up as a clone XT. It has a 10mb hard drive and dual
half-height floppies. Three original manuals with disks: DOS (3.00 or
3.30?), Guide to Operations (2.05) and Basic. Keyboard is original. Not
sure what kind of video interface, but the CGA monitor works fine on it.
[] IBM CGA monitor (5153).
[] Visual 1083 - Commuter. This description mentions an LCD display, but
that is not a part of mine. No disks, but it boots with the DOS from the
IBM.

[] nice AT-style desktop box and 15" SVGA monitor (will either be Sony or
Mag). I raided the box for the QDI motherboard, but I have another (name?)
and a Pentium 200 that previously worked in this box. Not sure whether I'll
keep the 6 meg hard drive. Couple of keyboards.
[] box of miscellaneous I/O boards + modem . . . mostly from Boca for
16-bit ISA.
[] maybe some software for PC - Clipper, Wordperfect?? - I'll be checking.
I can take pics and send emails if needed and will try to firm up answers to
some questions I raised for myself. I can answer on this board if someone
wants an answer that way.
