   I heard there were problems at Victor, but I didn't think they were
   bankrupt.  Maybe, they're under Chapter 11.  However, PC Magazine
   on pages 129 and 266 (July 1986) show ads for the Victor PC II (an
   XT-clone "for as little as $1095" and the Victor V286, an AT-clone
   for about twice the PCII.  Sure looks like they're still in business.
   Do I have the wrong company?
