| Not quite.  Later ('386 and up) Laser PC models didn't look like the Laser
| 128 series but the earliest Laser brand PCs used the SAME case as the
| Laser 128.  The specific model that I saw being sold in a store a long
| time ago was the Laser XT, an IBM XT compatible in a Laser 128 case,
| complete with built in 5.25" drive.

Except the lettering on the case was blue instead of the red on the apple
compatible.
