               1.   A general purpose computer apparatus comprising:                  
               a central processing unit;                                             
               a main memory;                                                         
               a system bus;                                                          
               first means for interfacing said central processing unit               
          to said system bus;                                                         
               second means, coupled to said system bus, for interfacing              
          said central processing unit to an I/O bus; and                             
               a housing enclosing said central processing unit, said                 
          main memory, said system bus and said first and second means                
          for interfacing, said housing having a size and shape so that               
          the housing can be physically mounted in a disk drive slot of               
          a computer system.
