I just got a call from my dad asking for some technical advice on 
the purchase of a small business computer designed to organize and
automate his pharmacy.  The system he is looking at is called the
QS/1 Pharmacy System developed by Smith Data Processing of
Spartanburg, SC.  They put out a larger system on an IBM Series/1
designed for large drugstore chain operations.  They also put out a
smaller system designed for the independent pharmacist on a Seiko
Series 8600 micro.  The literature he sent me was primarily
concerned with the software capabilities of the system, with
mention of a 16 bit processor, built in hard disk, and removable
5.25 inch floppy. 

I was not aware that Seiko had entered the micro business, and
therefore could not help him very much.  If anyone can offer any
information about the Series 8600, pro or con, please respond via
electronic mail or give me a call.  My dad is travelling to
Indianapolis tomorrow night to demo this thing, and I'd like to
have a few things to throw at him before he leaves.  As always,
thanks in advance...
