Curtis Mathes Computers
This is a very rare Curtis Mathes branded computer. It was manufactured by Arima back in the day when America was the computer leader; and was sold at American Microtech in Dallas under the licensed branding of Curtis Mathes.
This computer has state of the art space age components with Texas space age design. A really awesome piece of Texas history and know-how. The best part is it was all made in Texas by folks who took great pride in their workmanship and skill.
It is a 386SX/20 with 2M ram. It works fully. I'd have to say that very few of these still exist. The design and workmanship in the computer is remarkable.
The wonderful designers at Curtis Mathes produced some of the most remarkable electronics in the golden age of vintage electronics.
