Prety sure it was  PS/1 model 2011. From what I've seen on wikipedia & on other sites thats what we had - I remember the weird memory expansion module that it had & was installed in a slot hidden under the front cover.

I don't thin ours had any expansion slots at all. I believe that was optional and required something additional to be installed to give you some ISA expansion slots...

Also had non standard flopy and hard drive connections which was a problem when the original hard drive started to die..
