Summary

This machine was sent to me by Larry Landis along with a pair of Intel EtherExpress 16TP ISA NICs in order to allow me to learn how to set up an Ethernet network. When I received these items, I purchased the Boca Research BEN-210 10Base-T hub, and installed one NIC in this machine and another in Poseidon (Original), and installed Slackware Linux 2.3 (purchased from Just Computers).

The machine had no optical drive, no sound card, and if memory serves, a Cirrus Logic onboard video chipset.

Later, I installed OS/2 Warp v3 on this machine and loaned it to Joel Martinez, who kept it under his bed for a number of months. It ultimately ended up in my mother's garage, along with Hesperos (G5), and was disposed of at the same time.

It was housed a very nice slimline desktop case.
