Olivetti M280

[Irinikus]

I have this machine sitting at my home in Cape Town. (I still haven't taken a look at it yet)

It's missing it's hard drive, as I acquired it from the DOD, so they wouldn't let it go with the drive in the machine. (So I'm going to have to get one of these bad-boys for it!.)

I also have the original keyboard for it, but lack the original EGA monitor. (I will have to see if I can get my hands on a fancy ISA VGA card for it.)

It's a really cool system and definitely one of the most solidly built systems I've ever encountered.

Here's a quick view of the inside of this machine:

Neat; 286s are always very interesting, quirky machines

That's for sure, as there seems to be allot of hardware (circuitry) inside this thing! (It's definitely one of the largest motherboards I've seen in a PC!)
