I have a couple of the Corona and Cordata desktops. Apparently Corona
Data Systems was forced to change their name when the manufacturer of
Corona typewriters objected. So yes, Corona did predate the Cordata
computer.
My first PC clone was the PPC-400, and I still have the service manual
(copy.)

I have a similar but think mine says cordata which i guess yours is an early
model? Is there no model number or serial or was that edited out? Just curious.
?If you post on vcfed.org some younger collectors will find the historical
significance interesting of a potential unauthorized IBM compatible. I find
those companies that were sued out of existence or folded easily an interesting
time in an aggressive young home computer market.?

More spring cleaning. This time it's a Corona Data Systems PC.
Kinda like an old Compaq unit. Has floppy and hard disk, but does not
boot up.
