Line 51:
The industrial design of the workstation was done by [[Mike Nuttall]] of Matrix Product Design. It won a gold medal from the IDSA. The workstation itself was engineered by James Yurchenco at David Kelley Design. Both Matrix and David Kelley Design were precursors of [[IDEO]].
Two different workstations models were produced. '''Workstation One''' had an external electronics enclosure. '''Workstation Two''' had integrated electronics.
In August 1988, the '''Workstation 2XP''' was released which adapted a standard PC into a Metaphor workstation using a 68000-based co-processor card with 2 MB RAM, Ethernet adapter, three-button mouse, and 15-inch color monitor.
Metaphor released [[i386|80386]]-based workstations in July 1989: 16 MHz 386SX-based '''Model 216''' and 20 MHz 386-based '''Model 220''', each with 4 MB RAM.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=LaPlante |first1=Alice |title=Metaphor Workstations Run OS/2, DOS, and DIS |journal=InfoWorld |date=July 24, 1989 |page=26 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hzAEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT25}}</ref>
