The veird machine is the Luxor ABC 1600 computer. It was a test from them together with a consulting firm to design and sell a UNIX based system (an version of Sys III if i'm not wrong) using an MC 68008 but with a A4 portrait monitor. The weird thing: why did they try to use a crippled processor (but it gave them cheaper peripherals) but a fairly expensive graphical subsystem with monitor.... Have and Have nots... See http://www.datormuseum.se/computers/luxor/abc1600 and yes it is Mattis Lind together with his father Rune who run this little museum.
