Time to play "Guess That Hardware"!
Anyway, I was at Salvation Army today, and I came across an interesting
little device, and I've not seen it or heard of anything like it, and
I'm wondering what it is.
It's a black box about the size of a large laptop computer, or a small
cable box. It has the IBM Aptiva logo on the front along with a single
button which I presume is the power button. On top, you push down and a
part of the top flips up to reveal CD-ROM and floppy drives. On the
back there is a ps2 mouse and keyboard port, and a hard-wired cable
coming out that looks like the end of a printer cable that plugs into
the printer, only wider.. (SCSI?) There are no other connectors of any
kind (vga, parallel, serial, usb... nothing) I also do not recall
seeing any openings for a fan intake or anything like that. According
to a sticker on the bottom, it was made in or around 1997.
Anyone know what in the world this is???
