Hi Salvador,

Yes, it looks more or less like a generic PC case from the era.  You can see a picture of it
on the cover of the Dec 1991 issue of Rainbow.

Here are some links to my google drive for the Rainbow issue and the MM/1 technical
manual if you’re interested in more info.

I was finally able to find some information on the MM/1, but still no pics. Since the information mentioned that this computer used a typical PC case I figured that the outside of the MM/1 would be lackluster. Salvador
