Being a diskless unit and therefore largely immune to storage-related problems resulting from power fluctuations, the power supply was usually left on. This tamper-resistant switch allowed power to be turned off if required.
Flytech reportedly produced a range of models, including larger tower form factor units, and 80386-based units. This is a later example of a smaller form factor 80286-based unit.
Passthough power connector for other Flytech devices.
Old DIN-style PC keyboard connector.
DC input (5V 3A, 12V 2A, -12V 0.2A).
Female DB-9 VGA socket.
Parallel port.
The network card for this unit was an add-on unit adhering to the ISA standard. Network cards had to have boot ROMs mounted to support starting the computer from the network in order to do anything useful with the machine. In this era, boot ROMs were chiefly socketed, removable chips.
