Nope, it's the guts out of a �15000 (in 1996) server.  Made by Acer and
packaged up by Fujitsu.

It's got 8 SIMM sockets, HX chipset, removable processor board (can be
changed from 2 x socket 7 to 2 x socket 8 (P-Pro)).

Adaptec thing as well.

It used to live insode my main machine but I managed to break it (I
thought) so I got an Abit TX board (f**king quick) which would support
processors that the Acer wouldn't and a Diamond FirePort 40 (STILL looking
for a kernel).
