In June 1983, Video Technology presented a prototype of the Laser 2001 (and the Apple II compatible Laser 3000 the same day) which can use Colecovision and Atari VCS 2600 cartridges!
The Laser 2001 was also sold as the Salora Manager in Scandinavia
We need more info about this computer ! If you designed, used, or have more info about this system,
please send us pictures or anything you might find useful.
Finally, after years of searching, i found the Pinout of the PSU for my Laser 2001 (thanks to Madrigal from Creativemu). I figured my Laser would have the same PSU as the CreatiVision Game, and i was right! (9V AC and 18V AC). But be carefull, there are different Versions of internal Laser PSU´s some need +5V DC, -5V DC and 12V DC ... There are some pictures at the Creativemu homepage. Greetings from Austria

I know they have a Salora Manager
Or... use the Woozgotwat function of www.old-computers.com to find collectors having these systems: http://www.old-computers.com/club/collectors/woozgotwat.asp
Good luck
