NEC APCIII - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...

I was just wondering --- Could I have an APC IV?  Three of the teachers that
...
 have seen it have either called it an APC IV, or
"The pain in the neck".
Some of the descriptions that I've seen don't sound like the computer I
have.  Although it does say "APCIII" on the front panel.

The APC III's and IV's look much the same. If anything the III looks more
modern as it is a  smaller neater case, but it dates from 1984. The IV's are
286's and are fully IBM compatible with a Phoenix based bios. They have a
normal ISA bus while the III's have different shaped cards that are
installed in horizontal slots.
