Look at those expansion slots. Are those Isa compatible somehow?
I find this pretty interesting and mysterious ( From my westerner perspective )
Any interesting info about those?

It has 62 contacts, the same number as an ISA slot, so I think its highly likely that does carry compatible signals. Tandy used a male-pin version of the concept in some of its computers.

Now to find expansion cards that fit in there 🤣
It is also pretty weird how the keyboard connector and what looks like a serial connector or video are placed seemingly in the way of the cards.

If you're lucky it might be pin-compatible with 8-bit PC/104 (64-pin with two unused pins on one side). PC/104 -> ISA adapter boards shouldn't be too hard to find.

That is one strange (and iffy) looking board
With the weird power connectors soldered on and the wire hacks underneth
Looks like something out of a movie or something
