I think the British Railways ticket machines were 80186 based.

The machines I worked on were dual-floppy based,
1 Meg RAM, 80186 for the

cannot run anything else... but it might be a fun project to see if you
could get them to do other things. Hope you're good with x86 assembly (and
maybe disassembly) as I do believe a part of the OS they used was on ROM.
How much was ROM and what was booted from Floppy, I couldn't tell you...
186 ? Interesting ... it seams that there are way more 186 beaste
than I have asumed... This could be a collecting theme on their own.
