OK, I have worked on (but not sold):

        Processor Tech Sol-20
        IMSAI 8080
        IMSAI VDP-80
        Cromeco Z80 chassis
        Apple II
        Apple III
        Apple Lisa
        Poly 88
        Northstar Horizon
        Sphere (I or II, not sure)
        Televideo 806 and 816 + TS-800As
        Altair 8800
        Osbourne 1

        These are the ones I definitely remember us having at The Byte Shop (later
renamed to Advance Computer Technology), in Atlanta, GA.

        There are a lot more I have worked on, but I'll save that for another list.

        We also had something that I'm pretty sure was called a CDC Pegasus, but
damned if I can find any info on these. I'm either misremembering the name
or the mfg. It was a desk type system, dual floppies, some arcane OS that
never made sense to me (like a lot of CDC products...)
