Summary: Does any one have technical docs?

Hello,  about a year ago a freind of mine got a Corona PC, 400 series,
and he has been thrilled with it.  We have been using it extensively
for the past year, and have learned a number of its capablities, but
we can't find any technical documentation on it (similar to IBM's 
Tech. Ref. manual), and the distributers refuse to give the address
of Corona Data Systems (now Cordata I believe), so we cannot write to
them and ask.  This is a nice machine, the built in graphics stuff is
great, but it is obvious that as much as we have learned, there is
still a lot that we are missing.  If any of you have any such
documentation (or even just know of some of neet things this machine
will do, but that it is not too easy to discover), we would be very 
greatful.  If you know the address of Cordata, we would love to know
that as well, so we can write and ask for a Tech. Ref. equivalent.

Also, does anyone know how we might be able to install a color card
in the machine, but still be able to use the Corona Color routines
(the machine is a portable, and we cannot move a color monitor every
where where we can move the machine, but we want to be able to use
a color monitor without having to open it up and pull the color card
when there is no external monitor available).

Thanks to all of you who might reply, we will sumarize to the net if
we get anything that is worth summarizing.

                   Thanks again,

                        S. John Banner.
