A yellow adhesive label was found loose inside larger of the two bays that have printed-circuit board card-edge connectors inside the case (the bay in the bottom of the case). The label was placed in a plastic bag and replaced in the bay in which it was found.. The object has a 3 1/2-inch floppy-disk drive in the right edge, near the back of the case.. The object has a bay opening on the lower left edge of the case, covered with a removable plastic lid, and exposing the edge of a printed-circuit board with 42 connection tabs on each of its upper and lower surfaces.. The object has another, larger, bay in the bottom of the case with a printed-circuit-board edge connector with two rows of pins and 28 pins in each row. In addition to the yellow label mentioned above, there is a white label affixed to a metal plate lining the largest inside surface of this bay. That white label is printed with "Made in Malaysia" and with two rows of numbers that are partially covered by the case. Reading from the left, those two rows of numbers begin, "312502," and "50871," respectively..
