Its a Compaq "lunch-box" portable. This was the sort of portable Compaq 
made before LTE's (laptop type machines). I think they were just called 
Compaq 386 Portables. From memory the display will be a CGA. I also 
remember that they weighed a awlful lot (I once had to walk about a mile 
to the railway station carrying one).
