So earlier today, @TubeTimeUS was at a junk store and spotted this odd thing, a network switch with a floppy disk drive.
I was naturally already interested but doesn& #39;t it just smell like it might be a SECRET PC?
So I got it. It& #39;s a Nortel Networsk Contivity Extranet Switch 1500

I& #39;ve found SECRET PCs before, like this Secret 386 back in 2017: https://twitter.com/Foone/status/884166421327904768">https://twitter.com/Foone/sta...
which ended up inspiring an LGR episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOkapxbW93g">https://www.youtube.com/watch...
So around the back we& #39;ve got a power plug, a RJ45 port, two USB, and... 3.5mm connectors? huh.
And boy, that network port looks like it& #39;s on an ISA/PCI card, doesn& #39;t it?

Also these plastic bits look weird. Almost like they& #39;re hiding something
especially since this plastic here seems to suggest there& #39;s ports hidden under them
REVEAL YOUR SECRETS!
ok we& #39;ve got two PS/2 looking things, another RJ45 port. and a DB9 serial port.

And other the other bracket is... DB25 parallel port and a VGA port.
Yeah, this has got to be a PC. this is 1000% a PC.

So inside it says to not take it apart. Which of course I& #39;ll obey. END OF THREAD!
or maybe not. So, there& #39;s clearly a hard drive in there... this is a PC.
While opening it up I noticed it has a "US Sprint" label.
