Yes gregf, It's a very rare system even here in Spain, and I'm trying to document every stuff I found about it. Unfortunately the diskettes are protected, so It might be a not easy task read them.

Anyway, someone had the pcbs and some diskettes (they were bootlegs of foreign titles, in a decision to try to up the sales of the system). I guess the system included a BIOS, and I think It would be interesting at least dump it.
