Have a '286 PC? I have a pick and place system
that uses a massive proprietary board that is
essentially a 286 PC,
but with lots of EPROM and battery-backed static
RAM.
I got rid of all my 286 gear almost 20 years
ago, and now worry just a little about spares.

I do have some '286 systems, but it sounds like a
stock AT clone wouldn't really be useful as a
replacement for what you have there.
I'd definitely back up those EPROMs and the BIOS
though; most everything else could probably be
replaced.
