Those *are* as old as you think, if the desktop pc portion is roughly
5x8x12, with all the hardware crammed in on vertical daughter boards... I
had one of those on my desk back in my USAF days... It was networked into
a C3 "megaframe," that sat on the floor in the hallway by our shared
receptionist's desk (she had acces to everything...).

Cheers...
