Subject: Collector's Corner..The Top Five Rarest Computers

Author: Steve B

This past weekend i mentioned that World Class Collector's consider the TSB 4 La
Regence as among the top 5 rarest computers ever released for sale

while total agreement does not exist the following is a list that most do agree
on

please note:
the list is not in order of rarity
only computers released for sale are shown(modified computers and prototypes are
not considered)

Tasc R40
TSB 4 La Regence
CLJ Le Emperour
Omikron Bogol 5.0
Fidelity EAG Dual Processors (V5 or V8)

with a special mention to the Mephisto Wunder Machine and the Fidelity EAG V10

out of the computers mentioned above there are NO KNOWN  owners of either of the
Fidelity EAG Dual Processors although it is known that 50 of each were made

I have the manual for the Dual V8 which contains an interesting addendum by the
Spracklens mentioning that the speed up in processing was only 1.7 times and not
the ideal 2 times due to various factors

now all i need to find is the computer itself
:))

Best
Steve
