Documentation such as manuals and schematics are now available at my blog here: https://jbretro.wordpress.com/2018/09/01/fox-640-computer/

I purchased a complete Fox 640 computer from local seller (Canberra, ACT) who kept all the original documentation, which was scanned and shared above.

A.Becket says in its site :
|
|
|
|
''One of the most interesting [Apple \]\[](/museum/apple-ii/) clones I have seen. This machine claims to be a "Multi-System" computer, and the manual speaks of future advancements, allowing other systems to be housed. Basically, it is an [Apple \]\[](/museum/apple-ii/) with a Z80 Card, which can boot into CP/M or Apple \]\[ software. Instead of saying APPLE \]\[ on boot, it says -:FOX:-''
