We must all be hitting your server at the same time, as I can't get
pictures to load.
My guess is that it's a a Zenith, even though, I can't see it yet. I
think these computers were built for the government. At least the later
386 versions..... supposedly they were built to fall off a moving truck.
Might be urban legend, Though.
I had a Zenith XT and it was built with backplane instead of the
traditional PC motherboard design.
