At the auction I got something called "The
Brick" by Ergo computing Inc..
It's a cool looking 386SX-16 as per this article from a google search: "The
Ergo Brick, a 3" x 8" x 11" totable PC, was billed as the "cure for
the
common computer." With a keyboard and monitor at home, another at work, it
gave desktop power in a portable package. Today you could fit three
PowerBook G4/500s in almost the same amount of space as the $2,495 16 MHz
386sx-based Brick.". I got the CPU, power supply, manual, and a carrying
case. The keyboard was missing.
Hey, that's pretty cool. I remember drooling over adds for those around
1990! If you look through issues of "PC Magazine" from about that timeframe
you should be able to find the adds. Of course I didn't remember it being
so big...
Didn't they give it a greyish bricklike finish?
