VZ200, eh? Interesting. Maybe you Oz-nerds can shed some light on this.
I recently acquired a Dynasty Smart Alec Jr. Its a small computer with a
chiclet keyboard. Almost reminds me of a Mattel Aquarius. Anyway, on the
bottom the label reads that its a model VZ200, made by VTech (or Video
Technology) circa 1982. Is this the same thing perhaps as a Dick Smith
VZ200?
