In the picture the keyboard is off of the shelf (to expose the floppy
drive), when it's there the thing is a wedge with a swilt&tivel on top.
The keyboard is second only to the one that came with the Tandy 2000.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.

Do you mean the NCR Tower series? Or was this some other offering by
AT&T? I seem to remember that the old Tower 400's had 68010's - I've
still got a few boards somewhere for one (system board was about 1 metre
long and half a metre high!). I've got a complete Tower 700 with a 68030
as main CPU, and performance still rates really highly even these
days...)
