A friend asked me about what he says is an IBM unit that is running
Windows 3.1 and he says it says a type 4836. That number isn't clciking
with me, anyone have any ideas of what this is, or is he possibly
reading a tag from an add-on/in card? I saw a reference in IBM Finland
to a 4836 multiplatform emulation card but nothing else.

IIRC, 4830 is IBM's POS platform. I could be wrong, I've just consumed massive
amounts of refined sugar.

The guy is supposed to bring the main unit in today at work and I can see what
this thing is up close. I have a feeling he's misread it as his physical
description sounds a lot like a PC or XT.

The POS machines have been built on 5160, 5170 and lately (the last ones I saw
up close were about six months ago) on a PC Server box. I think there were a
couple iterations built on PS/2s, as well.
