matthew180 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 The Internet does not seem to know anything about EBNEK Tech except it was a registered company in Kansas around 1986 (which is way after that ad appeared). I'm going to speculate that these were never produced. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apersson850 Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 At least there's a photo of something. But it could be a mockup, of course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goer_0920 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 This was designed by Kenbe Goertzen a graduate of KSU. He was living in Wichita, Kansas at the time. There were about 5-10 employees at the peak however they were not able to compete with Microsoft and eventually moved on to other areas of computer engineering. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did many of these make it into the wild and get used by customers, or were they stuck in the 'almost' sold mode? Thanks for the additional data you've given here too, as there isn't really much out there on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
