Indeed you do  -- me.

I have a complete MG1 (with original mouse, monitor, etc, it even has the 
ISA slot backplane in it). I also have a Hitec, but not in the original 
case. The Hitecs have a motherboard that's the same form factor as a 
PC/ZT motherboard (nad which use a PC/AT PSU). The board contains the 
disk controllers (floppy, SCSI, ST412), serial ports, keyboard 
interfcace, etc. There are 8 slots at the normal spacing. 3 ISA slots, 
and 5 DIN41612s. The latter take the processor card, video card, and RAM 
cards. I have a complete machine, and many spare boards, but it's in a PC 
tower case.

I thought we were excluding larger machines.

What's the difference?
