i think you might have heard of this clone...i did not see it on your 
site..i saw it around? 1984? or so

in mankato minnesota

it was called the "abbacus" after the math device

it might have been a blimp in the clone stream i know it was almost 
immediately pulled from the market
it was almost certainly a direct copy of an apple ii plus ..i seem to 
remember it had the numeric keypad built in
keyboard many clones of the time had...it may have been simply a more common 
clone with a diff label

anyway....you prob know about this clone it was common to the midwest

so....hopefully some one has one and will donate a pic to your site

nice site by the way...pics are interesting

anyway ...my 2c worth
