Those machines is decent ones and LP in it is "Low Profile" desktops
with 3 tree slots ISA I think, space for 3 drives (2 3.5 and 5.25"
external, one is 3.5 internal). I can't remember if one can plug
those DIP cache chips into them. Kinda cloneish than Digital's.

It's nice to know the general problems if you could contact your
friends who "tried" to repair them?

We had them too at NTID (National Techanical Institute of Deaf)
where RIT college is in northern NY. They too went out the door few
years earlier to make room for newer machines for drafting/ CAD
classes.
