Hmmm.  That case and general interior layout is very similar, though not
identical, to a couple of weird DEC PCs I have.  They are labeled
"ApplicationDEC xp500", but the label is a bogus-looking peel-and-stick.
The hardware doco that came with 'em said they were a <mumble> 400, sporting
a high-end '486, but the ones I have are very early Pentiums, complete with
floating point error.

Not that any of that has any bearing the Jensen, of course.
