Business Computer S200

Anyone have any idea what this is ?
It looks more like a mainframe terminal than anything else.

My best guess is, it is just a terminal with a sticker that happens to say computer on it.

I don't know what it is, but I want it...

Actually, I've seen one very like it before, but with disk drives. It was in a thrift store, and I turned it down for lack of software (I was a lot pickier back then).

I was initially interested in this computer, but there is an external disk drive unit that is supposed to go with it. Without the disk drives ...... can't boot.

This one looks like a Xerox 820, eh?

Hmm....Somewhere, in one of the four red tote-boxes in my room, I've got many books on a few TI business computers, as well as some ads. As a matter of fact, I've got some user manuals on DOS and such for the TI Business computer. A few of them, I cant recall which model. Professional something or other, or Business Pro. IDK. Point is, I may have some information on this machine...somewhere.

I can't find the link now that shows the whole unit but is is a computer(with the disk drives), not just a terminal. Apparently they are quite rare.
