Magitronic didn't go out of business as much as they changed their name.

Magitronic was the 'white box' computer for a company called infotel
distributing.  They only sold to resellers, and they didn't have much of
a web site for end user support.  They did have end user phone support.

The company that was infotel is still infotel, but was purchased by and
is a subsidiary of some company I can't recall now.  Their brand of
computer (and laptop) is now 'Ultra'.

At any rate, if you go to http://www.infoteldistributing.com/ then
you'll find some customer service information, though it is geared
toward resellers.  The support button takes you to a web site asking for
your serial number, so you might find system info there.  At minimum
they should be able to give you the name of the reseller they sold the
system to originally, and you can contact the reseller for support.

If all else fails, I am a current reseller with them and I might be able
to get some amount of information for you, though I doubt much made it
through the various transistions.
