Vector Comm Basic what?

[falter]

I'm a bit conversant in Vector stuff but not this. Even google is coming up blank:

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/311741028798

Ever heard of these? Serial is pretty low so I'm guessing not a lot produced.

To me, it looks like a Vector Graphic MZ, with a new badge pasted on:

The software included would seem to verify that suspicion.

A similarly badged Diablo 630 daisywheel printer is also being sold, probably part of the same system.

I haven't heard of that specific one but specialized terminal software for commodity trading I knew existed in the early 80s. Comm Basic Associates shows up as having a few trademarks without describing the product in detail. There has to be a way to search on CBA and Tele-Trader to find more detailed articles.

The terminal software for commodity trading probably no longer has any system to connect to but at least the word processor and spreadsheet should still work.

It would have been easier to resolve if the pictures were done square to the terminal when test was displayed.
