Finally! That kind of housing style that looks just right at home
with 1990's stuff. I don't get it that C= didn't apply that styling
and "compactness" to their other machines and use color monitor and
more modern guts. C= in late times before got bagged by chapter 11
was building very unstylish blocky machines and large as well, theirs
looked alike to any clones machines at that time.
Looks like they took a C64 or doubled up C128 version stuffed
into that thing? When I was in high school, I see plus/4, c64's by
brunch all in all kinds of problems and dud psu bricks in junk piles
in electronics class room. That's years ago.
Good catch on your "rare" find, *honestly* I haven't seen this kind
ever. Too bad, that machine didn't have keyboard to go with it. I
wonder that rarity can be that easy to find one. sigh.
No offense on your "gloat" factor. This one earned this. :-)
Cheers,
Wizard
