It comes with built-in applications like you would see on today's PDA. This computer was in fact an early attempt at a PDA. When you fire it up, you see a world map. I forget the function of the map (its been a while since I played with mine) but presumably its to choose timezones and local dialing codes. It also has a calendar, I believe something like a scheduler, a calculator, etc. all in graphics windows. There is an option to then boot to DOS, and you would stick your DOS floppy into one of the drives. You may be able to get the one you have working as long as there are no missing ROMs or anything. I could help you piece it all back together again in a few weeks when I've got plenty of free time. You'd just need to document everything that's hanging loose or missing, and a GIF would help too.
