Subject: Re: Chris Rutowski -- Rising Star Industries

The kindest thing to say about Valdocs was that it was ahead of its
time.  I suppose it must have its staunch adherents, but they are
pretty rare.  I always thought that it was Epson America's insistance
on sticking with Rutowski and Valdocs that brought the QX10 down.
When you look at the graphics routines in the BIOS there's some
amazing stuff in there - but I managed to find the documentation only
a couple of years ago, about five years too late...  The QX-10 is a
strong contender for 'best CP/M machine built', just as the PX-8 might
be the best CP/M portable.  I don't know why Epson didn't turn into
Toashiba after that strong a start.
