This somehow reminded me of the "Access A1200"; A complete and upgraded Amiga 1200 clone that fit in a 5.25" floppy drive bay [1]

I remember the Amiga community absolutely frothing over it a couple of decades ago (myself included). It makes me sad that I can't find any info about it anymore, except for the Soft3 page advertising used versions on the Internet Archive.

There was the Ross SPARCPlug[1] that was a whole Sun SPARCStation 20 clone the size of a 5.25" hard drive. Now you can have your Unix workstation and Windows machine in one box![2]

SPARCPlug is such a great name for it too!

Fascinating, I’d not heard of this. I did find a bit more info [1]. Seems it was used as a kiosk multimedia playback system.

It's too bad that the PCB designs and other design specs aren't available for this, and for many other no-longer-produced electronic things as well.
