While we're on the subject... :D I have been hunting for a specific model computer. It's a NEC powermate APC-IV 386/16
I used to have one in the early 90's and in my infinite wisdom, I loaded my entire family tree onto this computer, along with interviews with relatives who are now gone. The computer blew up, but the hard disk survived and I've kept it for the last 10+ years in the hope of reviving it some day. It runs the ESDI interface and is a 140meg drive. (Huge for it's time.) If anyone has anything like this beast lying around or sees one in a junk pile, whatever. Grab it and give me a hoy coz It would make me very happy!!!
