I'm not sure that Dick Smith were tied up with the Video Genie, but they
did sell what I believe was a TRS-80 compatible machine known as the
'System-80'. If I remember correctly, it was sold both in pre-built and
kit form. It may have been known in other countries under other names of
course.

Casting my memory back, I think the System-80 was featured in the magazine
"Electronics Australia". I *think* they had schematics, theory of
operation, etc, etc. I may be wrong.
