That looks like the KITT module (brain, computer, whatever...) when the car was almost destroyed, and they had to put it inside a portable enclosure until they could rebuild the car.
🤣
Well, the lights were part of the built in speakers, like a LED level meter. That always made that case so cool to me. 😎

Yeah, I believe that's it there! I just never got to play with it. 🤣
You could unplug the standard floppy drive and plug in the LS-120 instead, just for kicks 🤣

Can't remember what system. Yet I clearly remember systems on wich turbo was applied through keyboard button combinations.
If it was during boot or when Dos ran, I simply can not remember anymore. (the bios reported how, during boot)
I believe my uncle's 486 Packard Bell used the Alt-S key combo to switch turbo on and off from the DOS prompt.
Ooohh, the pain......

Makes me wonder if I can use the drive as a standard boot floppy drive. Though yeah, I could do just that. 😀
Now you also make me think about my 386 Packard Bell, I need to get into the BIOS and write down the info before too long. So I can change out the original barrel battery before it causes problems. I've been EXTREMELY fortunate it hasn't done anything wrong so far.
LS-120 is supposed to be compatible with standard floppies, and I've seen the LS-120 option in the boot menu on some BIOSes. I never actually knew what a LS-120 was until I read this thread though.

Now that you brought that up, that sounds vaguely familiar, I may have seen that in some BIOS options myself. Though like you, never knew what it originally was for. 🤣

Anyone know about these? Would love to have one again.

Except I no longer have the LCD MHz screen. 😢
Nope, sorry, that's not it. But this thing looks awesome!
Where did you guys get these cases? I found them on movesurplus but apparently their site is dead (but they still accept paypal orders, without shipping you the goods!). Help a brother out.
