What's in the box - a new retro purchase

Post by Icky »

Ah, I think I got carried away seeing one of @PhilC, @rubber_jonnie and @stephen_usher posts on some of the luggables, NC100's and Apricots and bought something similar. I wonder what it could be and if its in one piece.

@Icky is it that Atari you always wanted? But then it's long and thin, so could be an Amstrad PPC
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.
