Spica STAR 486
The Spica STAR 486 is a 486-based generic/ODM laptop that was released around June 1993. AMS Tech sold this laptop as the TravelPro, which is how I found this laptop, through an AMS print ad. I identified it via process of elimination, as it is clearly an earlier version of the STAR 486-N design from 1994, which I have photos of. So, I don't have total confirmation that this laptop is the STAR 486, but I am 95% confident that there is nothing else that it could be.
