What does it look like? I've just recalled that I
did once see an Altos box
at a radio rally (my then girlfriend made me leave it) which was similar in
size to a PC tower case. The thing was a HORRIBLE shade of brown, I think
had both a floppy and a tape drive, and had seperate "busy" indicators for
each of the internal hard drives.
It seems to me the one we have is a very dirty looking brown also, with
strange angles on the case that give it a sort of Flash Gordon feeling.
