What the H _ _ _ is this thing?
« on: Mon, 02 May 2011, 07:02:21 »
I saw this on E-Bay.  I looks like a frankensteined model M.  But it's missing the top row of function keys and has a large what appears to be, opening along the top.  I kinda like the look, but unfortunately, I would have no need of such a monster (no pun intended) without the function keys.  Any ideas?

I was going to say something from a PC Jr, but the function keys and the clips on the front of the board.  Did IBM ever make a Kaypro style luggable?

Edit:  Ah, yes: http://oldcomputers.net/ibm5155.html
