Anyone ever heard of an Amigo?

I picked up an Amigo computer today from a thrift store. Now, this is something cool as I have never seen one before and it is an interesting design for its time. The CPU and CRT are in one unit. In fact, at first I thought this was simply a dumb terminal because normally when you had a computer with integrated CPU/CRT it was a lot bulkier than this one is. The motherboard on this is tucked right under the tube. It has a Z-80 CPU and a 6502 (I'm assuming the 6502 is for the video display). The keyboard is an IBM XT keyboard (same key layout) but it has a 1/4" phono plug that connects to the front of the CRT/CPU (just like the Apple Lisa keyboard). I also got a dual half-height disk drive unit for it and two boxes of 5.25" floppies with programs such as WordStar, Supercalc, etc. I got a couple CP/M master disks with it as well. It powers up and on the screen it says: V.10 BOOT Insert system diskette in lower drive. I can hear the drive spinning as if its trying to boot from the disk but none of the system disks I have seem to work. Perhaps they are bad, or the drive heads need cleaning.

What I really want to know is if anyone has ever seen or worked with one of these, and if you've got any information on it. Thanks!
