Unfortunately, my German isn't too good, so I ran the description through a
translator to get the gist. For some reason, the results amused me:
"C 900 was Commodores response to a question the nobody placed: As
counterpart to workstations of Apollo or HP he was probably meant. The
unixaehnliche operating system " Coherent " as well as a Z8000 as CCU were
even at that time more than diagonal. Result: The device never came beyond
the Enwicklungsstadium. The board is handwired partly still and seems up to
RAM completely (inclusive Z80XX on Doughtercard as well as original C900 of
boat Rome). Handwritten notes prove the section as functional. Since
Commodores in a cardboard overslept the fall 14 years unaffected. Whether
to waking up (interfaces are all there) or ideal-proves as ultimative
showcase model - a piece of history around you each collecting tank
colleague leg oaths becomes."
In particular, the sentence "Since Commodores in a cardboard overslept the
fall 14 years unaffected." :)
