I'm trying to recall the name of a machine made back in the 80's, I
think. I'm pretty sure it was 68000 based, had 2 1/2 or 1/3 height 8"
floppies stacked, was as wide as the floppy drives, about 8" tall
(guessing), and maybe 6" to 8" deeper than the floppy drives. I was
thinking it was a Sage II or Sage IV, but those all had side-by-side
5.25" drives. I'm not positive, but I think this was a Pascal
P-machine, or at least was in it's native configuration, if it was
68000. Anyone remember what I'm trying to think of?

I have something that sounds a lot like this, except it's Z80 based.
It's the ACI-2 made by Alspa Compter Inc. It has two half-height 8"
drives, and the rest of the enclosure is not much bigger than the drives.
The motherboard sits at the bottom, and there's an opening in the
enclosure where you can get access to the RAM, CPU and other components.
