That would be very interesting. I always thought Apricot made some beasts and remeber the

I put one of those in.
First and only SCO *UNIX* (as opposed to SCO Xenix) box I ever installed.
But before we turned it into a server, we put DOS and Doom on it, very

one a wheelie chair, while running Doom on a PC that wasn't connected
to mains power. The world's biggest "laptop".
