Clearing out the other day I found a device I remember using in the late 80s/early 90s. Wondering if it might be worth putting up on Ebay I googled it but Google couldn't find it. It's a credit-card sized calc/data bank type thing and on the box it says "Megalogic Datastar 8000M" claiming to be "the smallest pocket computer in the world".
Maybe someone knows a place on the Web where enthusiasts for this kind of thing gather and I might find some info.

Or if the OP mistyped and meant to write "Datastor" and not "Datastar", something from this range maybe:

Seems I did mistype....It is DATASTOR 8000MI assume the 8000D was for DESK and the 8000M was for MICRO.Probably not worth listing on Ebay.Put it away again for the great-grandchildren to laugh at (if I get some that is.)Thanks for your interest.0
