Almost missed this: Hyperion portable. Very almost pc compatiable

There was aftermarket stuff to fit that large connector on the back:
bring it up to 640K, etc.

The Compaq Deskpro 386 for beating IBM to market.
The Tandy 1000 series for outliving the PCjr that it was a clone of.
I'm not familiar with the Nexgen, was it anything like the Compaq Deskpro
5/60? EISA bus (no PCI), motherboard chipset was Compaq's own. It would
have to be one of the 1st Pentium based PCs, but mines too hard to get at
for me to go looking for date codes.
