   Nope.  The image is reversed.  The key for me to finding the right   
   one on old-computers.com is the keypad.  Notice that there is the   
   keypad and right adjacent a single row of keys.   
      
   It appears to be an Eagle II.   
      
   I remember when the person who sold Eagle for a decent amount, went   
   an bought a new Ferrari and killed himself in an accident in the   
   next day or so.   
      
   Go to the year 1980 on the old-computers.com site and scroll down   
   to Eagle.
