Being curious, I opened the thing up. I found the 2 8 inch floppy drives, some memory, (not being familiar with chips I have no idea how much memory), and a 68k processor. questions: 1) what kind of bus architecture was used in this machine? it doesn't look like S-100. 2) What was wrong with this system? I don't remember the sales being great. and 3) is it worth trying to get it fixed? and if so, where besides Radio Shack can I find parts, etc.? I know some suppliers of >Z Zuckerboard, but other suppliers? and are Zuckerboard parts even compatible with this machine?
