Visual Technology - off brand

This Company's products are also scarce on the web - maybe they were just "another clone"  (although luggable).  A year or so ago I located a prior employee who gave some background, including that he might still have the schematics. They were made 1984-86.

I've had no interest in the Visual 1083 I want to place, but I'm hoping a touch of off-brand discussion might change that.

--------------------  my earlier post:

I want to find a home for my 5150 and a few other items.  Prefer a collector
rather than ebay, but I would still hope to get a nominal consideration in
return.  I'm in South Carolina.

[]  IBM PC (5150) set up as a clone XT.  It has a 10mb hard drive and dual
half-height floppies.  Three original manuals with disks:  DOS (3.00 or
3.30?), Guide to Operations (2.05) and Basic.  Keyboard is original.  Not
sure what kind of video interface, but the CGA monitor works fine on it.

[]  IBM CGA monitor (5153).

[]  Visual 1083 - Commuter.  This description mentions an LCD display, but
that is not a part of mine.  No disks, but it boots with the DOS from the
IBM.

[]  nice AT-style desktop box and 15" SVGA monitor (will either be Sony or
Mag).  I raided the box for the QDI motherboard, but I have another (name?)
and a Pentium 200 that previously worked in this box.  Not sure whether I'll
keep the 6 meg hard drive.  Couple of keyboards.

[]  box of miscellaneous I/O boards + modem . . . mostly from Boca for
16-bit ISA.

[]  maybe some software for PC - Clipper, Wordperfect?? - I'll be checking.

I can take pics and send emails if needed and will try to firm up answers to
some questions I raised for myself.  I can answer on this board if someone
wants an answer that way.
