Yep. I kinda knew (hence '??') that I wasn't remembering the model
number.
The PC was indistinct in my mind and forgetable.
It had NINE slots, with the alternate ones spaced the same as the 5150,
thus permitting 5150 case if you didn't need bracket on four of them.
But, the UNUSUAL part about it was that it was designed to work from a
terminal, instead of PC style keyboard and screen. That apparently didn't
work out, so he came out with a keyboard ISA card. (to make the machine
forgettable)
