Micro Source / Micro Standard

   I'm looking for any remnants of a computer my parents manufactured in the early 1980's. My father designed it and I believe the original name was the M6000 or M6000P, (might have been M3000) luggable style. They started the company in the early 80's, the original company name was "Micro Source Inc" then was changed to "Micro Standard Technologies", I believe because someone else already had the MSI name. The case was a tan color with a brown flip down front keyboard and a flip down optional accoustic coupler on the back. Tiny little (perhaps 9") CRT with a couple drive bays, looked very similar to Osbourne's stuff.

The company went under in the mid 80's and my parents sold spare parts for a little while then we moved and nothing came with. Anyone have any leads on pieces of the system?
