I have tried contacting a number of these people, but none of them have
had any info on the machine... "we just know how to use it" type of
thing. The Speech coordinator for Ron Clowney never returned my email.

I also found this

The little blanks in back of the system have Cromemco stamped on them
too...
And that's the OS that it has on it, CROMIX... The system is based on
the Motorola MC68000 (MC68020RC16 in my system)

Ugh. It's weird stuff.
