Apparently the 21MX-K is an HP 2105 sold as board kit without a chassis and power supply.
Motherboard, firmware board, short risers, and front panel. So you can stick your own
embedded computer in your project, add your own specialized boards (and keyboard!).The
Arduino controller of the time (but 16 bits!).

Foggy Memory - The main difference between the 2105 and 2112 (and separately the 2109 and
2113) was mechanical. I seem to recall that the elusive "K" series (which I have
a sales brochure for somewhere, but I have never seen in the wild, nor do I know of anyone
who has one) was a "pick and choose" at order time - "Roll Your Own
21MX". It was apparently some form of "modular" so you could get bits and
pieces of the different models in one model (right down to the number of slots you
wanted).
