You're right, the machine I owned is the one I see from your link. The 
workstation you mentioned is in the same box but with a monitor and the 
location of the clips and led slightly different.
But I was not far ;-) I don't remember what kind of hardware was exactly 
in this machine. Shame on me, I got rid of it, it was the pre-internet 
era, I had no hope to repair and reinstall this machine, it would be 
different today: - /
