Snappy system, loved it. Commodore Germany in Braunschweig got told to ditch the project after successfully presenting it at CeBit in Hannover. Many of these systems made it into hobbyists' hands. It's pretty much a version 7 lookalike, but internally different enough to encur AT&T's wrath. No network. Loved that thing. It's in storage in Germany. Gotta wonder if it still works. Other stuff I've brought back here did, so....
