Hey Mr Vanpeebs!
Greetings. Glad to see you have upgraded from the Einstein 256, at last
Welcome aboard.
Edit: Two observations:
- Firstly, (lovely looking machine, BTW) you have the keyboard with the more unusual font; see the return key has the whole word "RETURN" written on it, rather that "RET". Also the CAP LOCK key usually says ALPHA LOCK.
- Secondly, the badge says MTX512 but I can't help but wonder how much RAM you actually have in there! MTX 512 machines are not uncommonly only 32k.

Obviously a look inside is good, but if
returns 0, you have 32k. If it returns 1, you have 64k
Don't forget to fill in the hardware survey:

if it returns 15, you have MFX (probably)

As Steve suggested, this is a 32k motherboard that has "lost" the 32k expansion card that would have been fitted to make a (64k) MTX512
