I have seen the innards of a Model II and a Model 16 on numerous occasions,
either to work on them or whatever.

The other day I saw a Model 12 with the back opened up, and was amazed at the
fact that it did not resemble either the II or the 16 internally!  The boards
and slots are mounted horizontally like the shelves in a bookcase rather than
vertically as in the II and 16 machines.

Does the 12 take the same boards (hard drive controller and so forth) that the
II and 16 take?  Why the different configuration?  

Seems like a good way to create problems with cards
over a long period of time, with card bending and warpage and so forth.
