I've been considering buying a PC/XT clone and came across
a GENERIC IBM-PC/XT.  It looks almost like the real thing,
except it has a fliptop lid.  The system board is supposedly
the same as the real thing except that extra memory can be put
directly on the board.
 
The one I saw had no name anywhere on it, but I've seen what 
looks like the same thing in several magazine ads.

Some of the vendors I've seen are:
	The Diversified Group   (Los Angeles)
	California Digital   (Carson, California)
	Jameco Electronics (kit form only)
	Jade Computer (I'm not sure it's the same computer)
and others.

I saw these ads in March, 1986 Byte, and I saw the actual computer
at a reputable computer store.  

If anyone out there knows anything about or has had experience
with this thing, please let me know.  For $1000 dollars or less, I
can get the system unit, monitor, keyboard, parallel/serial/monitor
interface, two half height floppy drives, and 100% compatibility!
(or so they say)

Thanks much!
