Is this the IBM PC "Expansion Chassis"? If it is, I have
one here, attached to a PC. The PC has two floppy disks,
EGA card, and memory expnaion, while the expansion chassis
has two hard disks and the controler.

I bought the whole PC, with expansion chassis, keyboard and
EGA screen for ten pounds, about eight years ago. Ten quid
would be worth about $15 now? Of course, that was before
Ebay...
