The B-128, B-256 and BX-256 were Commodore USA's last business products before
the success of the C-64 effectivly turned Commodore into a one product company.

The machines were to be the successors to the PET/SUPER PET/8032 series.  They
never made it into full production, and the associated floppy drives, and the 
8088/MSDOS adapter board were never released.  About 2 to 3 years ago, the
remaining units were surplused.  Reasonably complete documentation was turned
over to a users group in the Midwest, so I would give them a try.  Unfortunatly,
none of the people who worked on the machine are still at Commodore.

	
Here is the group's address - don't know if it's current:

	Chicago B128 User's Group - International
	4102 N. Odell
	Norridge, IL 60634
