Does anyone have any experience with or information about the following
two clones.  They are both advertized in the last DAK gadget catalog:

1. Visual (suppposedly the same people that make the terminal).  This
   machine has two floppy drives, and comes with a monitor. The price
   tag with a Silver Reed printer is $999.  There is an optional
   LCD display which can be attached to the top.  It's hinged so that
   it can be closed.

2. A portable Olivetti with one floppy and a 10Mb hard disk.  It seems
   to look like a Corona.  DAK gives you several packages with it.
   Price: $1699 (I think).

The prices seem OK, but what are these machines?
