I purchased off a buddy out east a rather strange "DEC" branded machine painted glossy black with a brass bezel and IR window. God damn this thing gaudy!
Upon arrival it was indeed a DEC not just from the not-so-DEC logo on the front but with the more official DEC model tag on the back.
The right side of the front bezel swings open to reveal a 3.5" and 5.25" bay. Only a floppy drive was fitted.
Inside revealed that it was very much a DEC machine form the crusty last years before DEC stopped making hardware completely. A nasty SX/SXL-33 chipped board with an adorably tiny footprint.
The hard drive had died at some point after I made the deal but not before I had demanded he image it for me so even without the original drive I got the 40mb of files this machine originally had which will be nice for answering the question of exactly what the machine used to actually be. There were three ISA cards in it. One for the IR receiver on the front, a rather nice Cirrus Logic chipset video card with dual video inputs plus composite and VGA out....and a ROLAND MPU-401AT WITH AN SCB-& GLUED TO IT! 😲
Between the tacky case, the Chinese labels I've been finding, the video card with composite out and the Roland card I'm almost positive this was originally part of a Karaoke machine. All it would of had to do was spit out subtitles and synthesized melodies of famous songs.
"It's science. I ain't gotta explain sh*t"
