Joe, I know that you a special love for these machines (Sanyo 550) I have
read your comments on the forum on the one you soaked so much money in
trying to get it to run.. (HeHe)!!!

Maybe they are worth collecting in the fact that they could possibly be the
most "Incompatible" "Compatible" early DOS machine ever produced.. <HeHe>!!

Anyway if they are so plentiful in Orlando how about getting me a Keyboard
and a monitor for it.. <Grin>!!

I still have some have some change left from the $3.50 I paid for the CPU...

Phil...

BTW: The Clerk at the Thrift store was convinced it was a VCR, and now that
I look at it, it does look very much like a VCR..
Same size, Same color (Metal Gray / Black Front)..
OK that makes it collectable Right !!!!

computers will still be plentiful and routinely sold at Garage Sales"
