My little company was the Australian distributor for the Versatile 2. We used to advertise it by saying that it could be carried by one man! And we knew the man! We sold several but supply dried up when CDS changed hands. Just as well for us as the integrated floppy disc was mounted too close to the power supply and when the gears in the floppy stretched a little over time, (but still in warranty), radiation from the power supply overwhelmed the floppy''s data stream. Grrrr.

What a time this was 1975 through 1982.
Those were the days.

my dad just ordered a few BYTE magazines from 77'' his old company was CDS out wilmington DE and he had a few articles and ads in it. he told me they coldnt kee up with the orders that came in for all his models as they changed thru the years.
