    I had to rip the outer case off as it was covered in bird poo. I will try and get pictures up of the boards and stuff later.

    It didn't have cords or anything with it. I wish it did though would've been cool to see if it worked.

    you might find some interest in the boards on vintage computer forum. Does it have a gold label or a silver one? The silver label were the first generation

    it just uses a regular computer power cord
