It's not surprising when you can't find any information about a computer from a small unknown company. This is different. The computer computer in this video was sold by Leading Edge, a rather prolific and popular PC clone maker. It honestly baffles my mind that there appears to be zero information about the existence of this machine on the internet. That changes now!

What is funny is I thought this video would be quick and easy to make -- I was wrong. This sucked up more than a week of my time -- not unlike my recent IBM PC 5170 video which also was a massive time suck. Anytime I touch an old 286 computer, they turn out to be super fussy! This was no exception!

I hope you enjoy this look at this unknown old IBM PC clone that seems to be completely undocumented.

Thanks for the support!
