Yup, the newer one's are. You'll just have to check before you buy. I think
that if it is originally has a 720KB drive, is is a stripped 1040. The only
thing I was disappointed by is that it didn't have sockets for the second
bank of RAM.

The older STFM with single-sided drive is probably always the old motherboard,
and should be avoided ( If you want to expand it ).
