Then it must be an NCR, right?
Yes, you are correct.
Not many people get the joke though.
Including me. Can you explain it?
NCR had a line of multibus-based 68K-family UNIX machines called "NCR
Towers" that were deeper and taller than today's full-sized towers
and weighed about 3x as much (got a pair of 'em myself). I haven't
opened mine in years, but ISTR there's a Multibus 68010 board,
a couple of RAM boards and an ESDI controller with two full-sized
5.25" ESDI drives in the base.
