As far as I'm concerned, even a 286 would be "too new to be interesting"...
but
I hope nobody wants to have THAT discussion again! <Evan ducks as the rotten

I contacted the seller. She explained that the
345 model number came
from a
manual she found in the laptop bag. I asked her what the manual said on
it...
she said "CRT"... LOL, she didn't realize the manual was from an entirely
unrelated ordinary computer monitor and has nothing to do with the laptop
at
all. Later she mentioned a copyright reference to 1991 upon booting, but
she
didn't say if it got past booting or not. Anyway, the '91 reference gives
it
away: I am 99% sure it's just a not-too-interesting 386 laptop.
