Yep. Looked like a classic mac cut in half vertically with two black 5.25"
floppy drives mounted sideways in place of the monitor. It was designed to
sit right next to the mac. Interestingly, it came with this weird keyboard
doc. You plugged the mac keyboard into this thing and it added a numeric
key pad and the 2 rows of 5 function keys down the left side just like the
5150/5160 keyboard.
