Lower right corner. Calls itself the "External Storage Module". Note the "External Options Adapter" is required to use it. Plugs into the massive docking port on the laptop.

Re-boot and install loadable driver
Insert bootable disk and press any key

A picture of the actual main board would confirm but it looks like a 5150 clone. It's hard to see but there is soldered RAM in the upper right hand corner of the top down picture so that means it's an 8088 clone. Although the name kind of confuses me because Turbo wasn't necessary until the later 286 models.Looks like a generic ERSO-design system to me.
Ooh! This is the boot rom kit for the PC2 version of iomega's original bernoulli ISA card. You get an EPROM with the extra boot code, a chip of SRAM and a PLA. With that you can boot directly from a bernoulli cartridge without needing to load anything from ahard drive of floppy drive.Hey all
In a random IC holder I found these. Can't put a finger on it if they are correlated or just randomly bunched together:

Putting it out here in case someone has an idea

I'm sure most people know but the reason for the reduction was so that software which was written to clock speed could still run on a faster machine. That's why that feature went away when 486's came out.
I'm speechless :O - anyway free SRAM until that drive ever pops upOoh! This is the boot rom kit for the PC2 version of iomega's original bernoulli ISA card.

This is a generic Taiwan 8088 turbo clone, with a 8 MHz NEC V20 in it. Most likely assembled by COPAM. I'd be more interested in that hard drive modelWithout taking out the hard drive this is what is visible for the main board
