Once again reviving a rediculously old topic.
But here are the internals:

Wow what an ugly thing 🤣

I haven't got the slightest clue about what they had in mind with this design either. 😀

It wasn't the only weirdly shaped product they wanted to release that year:

Ah, the port-blaster. I remember reading a review of this once in a dutch computer magazine.. It was either Computer!Totaal (C!T) or Personal Computer Magazine (PCM).
I do have a lot of the older magazines still, so I will try if I can find it.

That Midi Blaster (on the top-left corner) looks like a Lazytown tombstone:

If anyone on here happens to have one of these, they should play We Are Number One on it in honor of our good meme friend Stefán Karl Stefánsson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amoOf58gTX4
