So I got this:
This is an EPSON IM-425 industrial PC used for POS applications - this one was part of a cash register. Specs are quite nice:
* EPSON SBC with AMD 486DX4/100, CHIPS F65545 VGA (1 MB), OPTi 82C463 MV chipset (MV = mobile), standard 72-pin PS/2 for RAM
* 4x COM, 2x LPT (half of them provided by a removable module on top)
* 3.5" slim-line floppy
* internal 2.5" IDE hard disk bay
* 1 ISA slot and one local bus slot (looks like PCI, but is apparently VLB in a custom form)
This thing is just perfect for playing DOS games from the 486 era. I'm going to add a hard disk and a sound card with a Dreamblaser S1/2, upgrade RAM to 32 MB, and install some version of Win9x (not sure which one yet).
But first, it will be disassembled and cleaned, and the case will get some nicer look. 😁
