Visual 1050 computer

While at a thrift shop today, I came across a "Visual 1050" computer.
It didn't look like a PC, so of course I was intrigued. It has video out,
a parallel port, and port for a winchester (yes, that's the label, I guess
before everybody settled on "hard disk"), and two 5.25" floppies in
front. It isn't a complete system, no monitor, no docs, no software,
just the box itself, not even the keyboard (I think).

I did a little web searching and found it is a CP/M machine, Z80 based.
It also appears to have 640x240 graphics display as well as text.

Does anybody know more about this -- is there anything particularly
interesting about it, or is it just another CP/M machine? Will I get
$15 worth of entertainment out of it? Is there someone on the list
who is dying to get their hands on a Visual 1050?

Thanks for any info.
