? are you ALSO a small CP/M machine??
It was Otrona Attache.
It was exceptionally portable. They did an ad showing a Charlie Chaplin
trying to carry a PC down stairs on a table; one of the first cases where
IBM's lawyers enforced their ownership of Charlie Chaplin as a trademark
for computers (purchased from his estate - his personal politics would not
have gone for an association with IBM)
It had 40 track per side drives that were upgradable to 80 track per side.
There was an 8088 coprocessor add-in card for MS-DOS!
