OWW. But to be fair, they made my favorite 72-pin SIMM tester. Sure, they
thought it was a computer... but anything more complex than memtest86+ is
too good for it. And the BIOS will read out the PD info for you, which is
better than most motherboards of that era. More different types of screws
than I've ever seen in one chassis... all the expansion ports are on a
daughterboard. Ugh.
Umm... I remember working with a Commodore-branded PC, early 1990s.
486 Era I think. System itself was adequate, but to get at the
motherboard, or even just swap the hard disc, you had to disassemble
most of the bloody thing. At least one screw on every part in the box
seemed to be hidden behind something else.
