- Sounds good in principle, but will the implementation be any good.
- I'm reminded of the old IBM PS/1's. (earlier than the PS/1 Consultant
- series). They were a very small desktop case with one proprietary
- vertical slot. This slot could accept one PS/1 card, or you could
- install the "expansion chassis" which sat on top (I think) of the original
- box, plugged in to that slot, and gave you 2 or 3 ISA slots, and maybe
- a drive bay. You could also add a 5 1/4" floppy drive underneath somehow.
- Either thing made the machine a little taller. Problem was, it cost about
- twice as much to add anything to this little squirt than it did to add
- anything to a regular PC. I hope the Walker, or whatever they eventually
- call it, doesn't suffer from this problem.
