...or at least I cannot find any reference to it..
just generally searching the web...or indeed no reference anywhere on youtube.
I guess it must have been very very rare ?
Made in 1991 ..fitted with a 486 cpu...and a 420mb seagate hard drive.
Branded 'Brother'....made in Taiwan
18v dc input
3.5 inch floppy.
No external ports that I can see..other than a long connector for a docking port.
Some extreme display panel damage that looks like some sort of chemical interaction melting...
..and it stinks of fish...
..indicative of leaky caps internally...so not even attempted to power it up..
Model number Megapro 486D

So ..has anyone ever seen one of these before ?
certainly I haven't.
I'm suspecting it has a mono lcd screen..but I guess it could be an early passive matrix colour ?
9.5 > 10 inch screen.

..and he has it hooked up to an external monitor..
no possibility of this with mine as there is no external display port sadly.
