Sellam,

Bo Zimmerman at Zimmers.net has a picture of one here:

Here is one booting up on Youtube:

The quality is not great for either of them and there are no internal
pictures, unfortunately.  I don't know if it's the same one but it looks
like the front mold was changed so there must have been more than one.

The deal with Commodore/Hyperion was reported to be in 1984.  The
Commodore Colt came out in 1984.  From what I've read, Commodore was trying
to buy a PC before they started making their own.  It would not be a leap
for them to use what they learned from the 100% DOS compatible Hyperion to
make the Colt because if they were working on the Colt, they wouldn't have
needed the Hyperion.

All speculation on my part as there is not a lot of information on this out
there.
Santo
