I'm putting out some feelers to try and find a Hewlett-Packard EISA bus 486 PC from around 1992-1993 or thereabouts. Unfortunately, the example I've got is incomplete and may not have survived its time in storage. (I think a mouse got into my storage area and used this computer as its bathroom...

From my pile of "stuff I need to go through", I recently unearthed a large Zenith Data Systems desktop PC. I'd have figured this to be a 286 based system from its sheer size, but I found a note on the back giving hardware specifics, including mention of a 386DX-16 CPU. Inspecting the internals...
