That takes us back to prehistory. I don't think there ever was a
released XyWrite I, unless you want to count ATEX. I suspect XyWrite Two
sounded better for marketing purposes-- when Nonlinear Systems got into
the computer business in CP/M times, they named their first computer
the Kaypro Two, to give a misleading impression of prior experience and
the folks in Billerica may have copied the example.
