It was kinda like a mindset, but the innards were different. TELEX also marketed a rebadged version of the MAD computer-- the TELEX 1186. I used to have one of these (I think I still have the PSU/FDD unit around here someplace). Two more rarely seen machines are the 3Com 3Server, and 3Server3's. They both used 80186 CPU's (some guy at 3Com explained that they used it because the chips built-in dual DMAC's gave good disk I/O performance). Anyways, these beasts used a highly customized version of MS-dos, which ran 3Com's LAN software. They were strictly servers-- these things had no on-board video; you had to use a terminal to see what was going on, if it refused to boot (which was often). It was a seriously cool box in 1986. I still have the software for it around here someplace . . . I'm sorry I scrapped mine in 1993.
