Hi,
I used to build machines identical to this (in New Zealand). The cases were
made in Hong Kong (I think, maybe Taiwan - can't remember!), and were
exactly like XT cases but with different cutouts, mounting holes etc. They
came with external keyboards and adapters, which was a big ease of use bonus
over the standard Apple II clones, I reckon.
Anyway, looking at this one, I believe I still have a keyboard that would
fit it. Whether it works or not is another question. I think it had a female
15-pin socket (forget the terminology for them - DC15??) on the keyboard
cable, but as I haven't looked at it in years, I could be mistaken. Feel
free to make me an offer for it if you want it - I'm not going to ask much
for it, especially as I don't know if it still works! Plus, postage from NZ
might be expensive...
Mike (another one)
