Panasonic HHC Hand Held Computer with Printer and all are in excellent condition. The computer powers up and works fine. Included in the case is the computer, the printer, instruction manuals for both an ac power cord, a plastic device that holds them both together and a cover that covers them when they are connected. Josh H added. These computers were used by General Electric, and later Ericsson for programming two way radios. Most GE shops of any size in the early 80's until recently had these units since IBM PC's were not at all common when these units came out. The basic Panasonic computer with serial interface and printer were mounted in a suitcase along with two GE plug in modules. The first module contains EPROMS with software for each model of radio or control unit to be programmed. The second module has two EEPROM sockets to accept chips from the radios or control units and a plug for programming cables that directly interface to radios (for programming a radio without removing it from a car or truck). The GE model number for the unit is TQ2310 and they were manufactured by the Mobile Communications Division of GE in Lynchburg VA. These computers seem to be pretty reliable, except for the printers. My friend and I have two complete units, and neither printer works. These units are still fairly common in GE shops even today. Radios were made into the mid to late 90's required the suitcase to program. Newer equipment uses windows based software and a serial interface box. The California Highway Patrol is just now phasing out their GE/Ericsson RANGR series radios with custom S-825 and S-830 control units. These control units require the old suitcase with special software to program. (note my unit has CHP software in it).

1983. Seequa Chameleon was one of the first luggable computers that used both Z80 and 8088 cpu’s. It was capable of running either CP/M or MS-DOS operating systems. Thus was it named the Chameleon. Basic version featured 256Kb of RAM and Chameleon Plus used 256Kb. Nice 9” monochrome monitor with the option of an external color monitor with 16-color text mode. Retail price $1995.

One of Canada's finest PC's. The Hyperion PC/XT-class computers were made at the same time that the IBM XT was just getting going. This computer is much smaller, lighter and more refined than the Compaq Portable or the IBM Portable. This one is fully loaded with 640Kb RAM, two floppies and a modem. It is also in excellent condition with no scratches or gouges. The built-in monitor is clear, bright and sharp. The memory and floppy drives work fine. These machines are fairly rare, even in Canada, because they were so expensive that only the government could afford to buy them new. This one is very rare because it is in such great shape, because BOTH floppy drives work (these drives are not easily replaced, they are a rare model) and because it has the built-in modem. Also comes with the original carry bag. Dynalogic was owned by BYTEC MANAGEMENT CORPORATION. The Hyperion was introduced in June 1982, but didn't start shipping until January 1983. Compaq introduced its Portable PC in November 1982, and started shipping units in March 1983. The Hyperion's keyboard slides in under the computer and locks into place automatically. The handle on the machine isn't a carrying handle like on Osbornes or Kaypro's, instead it is just like the handle on an old Macintosh. The disk drive doors on the Hyperion are fairly unique. The user pushes on the door to release the latch, and the door pops up.There is one strange 50-pin D-style connector on the back of the Hyperion as well, which according to Doug (Yowza) Salot, is for an external memory expansion. This port has also been used to connect external hard drive units to Hyperions. There are also three phone-jack style connectors on the back an internal 300 baud modem. Two of the three connectors will mate with a normal telephone extension cable, and these are the "phone" and "line" connections. The third is thinner, and houses four wires just as the other connectors do. Apparently it connects to an optional acoustic coupler. Hyperion was used by Commodore as the basis for Commodore's first generation of PC clones. According to George Robbins, ex-Commodore engineer: Commodore actually bought rights to the Hyperion design and there were a couple floating around West Chester. The design served as the basis for the first 8088 based PC-clones that Commodore manufactured, though they ended up in normal desktop cases. The next generation was basedmuch more directly on the IBM PC's (probably for 100% compatibility) then we started making our own customer chips/asic to get the cost down before switching to industry standard "chipsets" for 286-486 designs. In the end it was cheaper to just buy and resell clones from HK and Taiwan.On of my tasks at Commodore before the Amiga stuff took over was to make a comparison of the Hyperion design and our current PC design to "prove" that we weren't using any of the Hyperion proprietary design features and there was no reason we should continue paying them royalties on every PC we sold.

In the 1990's the Ergo Brick achieved significant acclaim due to its unique design. Before powerful notebook computers came along, Ergo defined the category "transportable computer" with grace and power. You used a Brick if you wanted portable horsepower (in contrast with wimpy early notebooks). This is the Moby Brick, an Intel 486 machine with 15Mb of RAM and a 100Mb hard drive. Complete with power supply, keyboard, Logitech serial mouse, 16 color 640x480 LCD display (the machine also has VGA out) and a nylon carring case. The machine has DOS 6.22 installed and it boots and operates in DOS fine. The two coolest things about this machine are the case and the LCD monitor. The case is speckled charcoal gray with large rubber blocks at each corner. It's superbly designed and very, very elegant. Dimensions are 8x11x3" (about the size of a ream of paper). The 9.25" LCD monitor is also a graceful creation. It does not use a VGA plug, but rather a special Brick connector.

Godd example of early portable computers. Features amber screen with tilt-up for easy viewing. Not much other info is available at this time. We will add more later.

This is a Russian ZX Spectrum Sinclair) clone. manufactured in Cherkasy in the Ukraine. We didn't put a geiger counter to it as it was probably close to Chernobyl. Comes with two manuals all in cyrillic. It was a very popular computer. This unique machine is compatible with Sinclair & ZX Spectrum. The programs & games load directly from the tape recorder. It has 4 I/O ports and RGB interface to TV.

Powerful low cost workstation. This unit is the workstation computer only. It does not have the keyboard or a monitor. It is compatible with a standard VGA monitor.

This Atari XE Videogame system comes complete with (2) 1050 external floppy drives, model 1020 printer/plotter, model SX212 modem and video light gun. Known as the XEGS. Atari introduced this video game machine to compete with Nintendo and SEGA but it never really met the sales goal of Tramiel and company. Detached keyboard was nice and the pastel buttons looked good but it sold less than the Atari 2600 and 7800 machines. The XEGS was virually the same machine as the 65XE but marketed to different users.

Compaq Portable III still in great working order. Has DOS installed, hard drive, floppy and built-in amber monitor. Includes copies of Microsoft QuickBasic v4.5 and Wordstar 2000.
