Computer electronics (i.e. printed circuit boards), and two floppy disk drives are mounted inside the housing on the base at the rear and a full size keyboard is mounted inside the housing on the base at the front. A battery pack is disposed in the rear top cover of the housing. A full size liquid crystal display monitor is mounted on the front top cover. The foot door is movably mounted on the back of the base. When the front top cover is pivoted open the display screen is viewable and the keyboard is accessible.
