They discontinued them. They were a POS terminal originally. They're
about the size of a SCSI external drive, 5" x 5" x 12" deep (at a
guess), it's a 286-12, there're 2 30-pin SIMM slots for additional RAM
(512k on the Mobo and it'll take 256k or 512k SIMMs), and one ISA slot.
(Mine are all in storage except one which is sick.) There's a 386
version made, I've seen but not used those. They make VGA output
versions and Herc or CGA output versions (Seen, not used.) You get one
low-power 3.5" IDE Drive slot (40..527 Mb) and a 3.5" FDD slot, can add
a CoPro if you have one spare. I put a Net Card in mine and use them to
format a Floppy, edit text files across the LAN, and so forth. Really
nice to be able to create floppy disks with drivers etc. on them on one
machine while doing something else on another machine.
