It doesn't look like one of those, but I also found other photos while
searching for that one, and I believe the system was a Franklin Ace 1200.
I distinctly remember the *two* built-in floppy drives in the top part of
the case. I also remember the power switch being on the side of the case,
not the usual back/right location of true Apple systems. Does anyone have
one of these in their collection? That was the only one of those I've ever
seen/used, and I've not (yet) seen one in a surplus shop or auction.
