At a rummage sale last weekend I picked up a 1991 Leading Technology 7000DX,
an original 25 MHz 386 with a first gen NEC SCSI external CD-ROM, speakers,
mouse, Keyboard, VGA monitor. What made it was all the original books and
software including about a dozen games of the early 90s including DOOM II.
I couldn't resist the box of SW and books. It was $5 for all. It wasn't till
I got it home that I realized it is one of the first 386s (must remember to
check which chip is in it). I think it is based on the magictronic board set.
It had a proprietary memory card which you could load up with up to 8 megs of
RAM (this one has 6 Meg.).
I think it was really just used as a household games machine. Did have
windows 3.1 installed but it really was used as a DOS 5.0 computer. It is a
classic in its own right...and over 10 years old.
