Cybernet is still around (https://www.cybernetman.com/en/all-in-one-pc/keyboard-pc) apparently, and making keyboard PCs still, but this old for-parts board is pretty cool too!

Wow, that's an interesting thing... Did anyone have any idea things like this existed back then?

The top and switches look unused, but the sides and back are grubby... Wonder how that happened? And what sort of system do you suppose it is? A 386 maybe?

Dat 3.5" floppy drive. It would be fun to build a modern PC out of that. Micro ATX should fit, I'd think. Power supply might be an issue.
