It was a standard desktop model, to which a Hercules graphics card and a multi-I/O card were added. It had two 5 1/4 sloppies, 640 KB memory, a 20 MB hard disk, and an amberchrome screen. It hasn't been used in about three years, but as far as I know, it still works.

My brother does have a "luggable" model made by some company called "IDM" (note - this is not a typo) that was similarly spec'ed, except that the screen was about 8 inches and the keyboard clipped to the case. It weighs a ton. We tried disassembling it once, but couldn't get through all the steel bulkheads.
