I also saw what looked to be a very small IBM
computer. It had all the
connectors on the back, for video, keyboard, printer. It also had two
3.5" bays side by side in the front. The front cover was missing so I
couldn't get any model number off it (not even on the label on the
bottom). The only thing I saw on the label was "Type 2100". I'm thinking
it might be a PS/1 or something. It was really small, measuring about 12"
wide by 3" high by 12" deep.
I have a couple of PS/2e (9533) boxen that have approximately those
dimensions, but mine has a laptop-thin floppy in the right bay, and four
PCMCIA slots in the left (there were models without the PCMCIA). These
are very useful low-power machines. (I use one for a wireless gateway to
my home LAN). They also had an optional flat-panel display.
