Corona Data Systems PC available

[Marvin Johnston]

I have a couple of the Corona and Cordata desktops. Apparently Corona 
Data Systems was forced to change their name when the manufacturer of 
Corona typewriters objected. So yes, Corona did predate the Cordata 
computer.

My first PC clone was the PPC-400, and I still have the service manual 
(copy.)

Just curious. ?If you post on vcfed.org some younger collectors will find the historical significance interesting of a potential unauthorized IBM compatible. I find those companies that were sued out of existence or folded easily an interesting time in an aggressive young home computer market.?
