It was a stripped-down C64 from very early on (also known as the Ultimax), basically
a console based on the 64, chiclet keypad..... 'twas a falure, although it is
interesting to note that the C64 can be put into Ultimax mode via cartridge
insertion, there's a picture of one on my incomplete home page, think the full URL is
http://members.xoom.com/llyon/gallery.htm

Then follow the link to C64 images.
