Remember a while back I mumbled something about finding some documentation
for a NorthStar Dimension computer which I suspected was PC compatible?
Well, I found a short review of it in the 1985-86 Edition of _The Peter
McWilliams Personal Computer Buying Guide_. This is the book that has all
those keen Victorian-style illustrations throughout the book. They turn
up regularly at thrift stores and the like.
The NorthStar Dimension is reviewed on page 78. 8088, 256K, MS-DOS,
multi-user system. The system was modular. You would buy a CPU, and
could hook up to 12 terminals(dubbed "work stations") to a single CPU.
The "work stations" could apparently run MS-DOS apps.
