Oh man... I would have given my right arm for that machine. The front
panel
was really useful, not just that clone fake display set with jumpers. It
showed
POST codes, disk access info CPU speed... That was a cool machine.
IIRC, the Everex had a similar front panel that would display the post codes
and the CPU speed, at least for the 286. I have one in the garage that
didn't head for the metal scrap because of that. One of these days, I'll
have to actually check it out :).
