This computer is one of the few Wundermaschine produced by Hegener & Glaser and still with the original processor Intel 80486DX2, 66 MHz, 8 MB of RAM and the Genius 2 program of Richard Lang.
Very few of these computers escaped to the electronic scalpel of their zealous owners dreaming of more MHz power or trying to repair them. Anyway, they were becoming modified computers.
This computer is exceptional: for the best of my knowledge, two or three remain completely un-modified, original in all their parts including the Genius 2 program of Lang.
