The sides are not square like any Imsai I saw, and there is a monitor on

the Altos look like one of the 58x (I think) looks similar.
Don't think so---the trapezoidal monitor case is wrong for an ACS586, as
well as the case being too tall--the 586 FH drive faceplates came right
up to the top of the system cover.
I was saying more reminded of Altos. Maybe early versions, not sure. I
agree it doesn't match it at all.
All the Altos boxes I have are 8" floppy boxes w/o that nonsense, so
haven't got a lot of experience with those.
And you're right the Commodore thing is going on there too.

In a way, it resembles a Commodore PET but for the shape of the system
unit, which looks like a CBM 4040 drive box. Did such a box ever have
the option for a 5.25" hard disk drive?
