> it was neigh impossible to get custom hardware into that computer (it had no expansion slots) This really does not do justice to the fact how incredibly frustrating it was to work with this hardware. Not only expanding it, also servicing. I can't find a photo of a disassembled Partner on-line, but the white box with monitor you see in the article: it's crammed chock full of loose wires, small boards, individual components, high voltage stuff pressed against low voltage (blew up a multimeter once because of that)... Once it was assembled in factory it was almost impossible to take it apart, much less run or test in a disassembled state.
