Hi,


anyone ever hear of the above??

I am trying to upgrade this for a friend of mine ....



its a weird beast: runs MS-DOS and *SEEMS* like a true 
clone, but the M/B is non-existent - the BUS (8-bit) is
the only M/B there is, then there is a CPU/CGA card that
plugs into that, an I/O card and a FD controller...............





I want to add an 8-bit mem exp board and a HD controller 
card....any poor sap ever encounter one of these....



TIA
