5) Multitech MPF-1B or MPF-1P "Micro Professor". Why? Because it folds up
like a book - I know of no other computer like that.
It doesn't really, that's just the packaging it lives in. It was probably
done like that to make it attractive to schools etc; originally it was a
simple SBC. I think the memory expansion may fit in the other side of the
'book', but I'm sure things like the printer etc don't, and definitely
not
the applications board. Perhaps it was a 'machine on one side, documentation
and keyboard overlays on the other' type of arrangement, though in all the
ones I've got the docs are the same size as the book packaging so they don't
fit internally.
Oh, I might have a spare one......
cheers
