I think it sounds a lot more like this fine early MS-DOS / CP/M-86
Computers from Apricot. Non-IBM-HW-compatible systems with a very
nice and smooth design (compared to them, still (almost) any new
computer looks like 1950's techniks). 3.5" FD way before IBM, and
cute keyboards, mice, and even track balls.
