That was the first version of the Apple ///. If it was turned oon and off regularly instead of being left on, the sockets Apple used would wiggle the chips loose with thermal expansion and contraction. The drop height was about an inch or two. The /// got a bad reputation from that and other heat related problems and the later revisions couldn't save it.
