It's a "Zenith Data Systems SuperSport 286" Without the battery, It
weighs about 10 pounds and is about the size of two large modern-day
laptops stacked on top of eachother. The battery hooks and clips onto
the back end and adds another couple inchs in depth, and 5 more pounds.
It's beige-white with an 86 -or-so key keyboard. No extended RAM,
just the standard 640K....
