the Compaq III is quite cool there was also an add on docking thingie
too to go with it. .... IBM also made a ps2 sort of one with a plasma
screen on it too that was a box that closed up on it self. used to be
able to find these in thrift shops often but these days you seldom see
them. I got one and used it for a while until the power supply quit. For
now it will have to remain a static display... for a while anyway.
(schematics or maint. manual anyone!?)
I even used to find Burroughs BTOS desktops in T shops but now
what I need one for a display here at the museum.... none to be found!
Need some to sit in the middle of these photo panel and some incredibly
neat promotional items related to that computer Burroughs had put out
at one time.
