It gave me 2MB ram and a 16mhz CPU (beats 4.77!) and a bottleneck of the 8bit ISA. However it ran winders3.1 and was a whole lot faster than the 4.77mhz V20. At the time it was far cheaper than a real 386 and much better than the 8088." 3.1 needed at least a 386, no?

(prolly same requirements) and Windows/286. This wouldn't get you the ability to run any of the above, but the 8088/86 was available as high as 20mhz IIRC, or possibly even a bit higher. I don't know what the '186 capped off at (40mhz at least). I thought you didn't like throwaway PCs Allison. What did you finally do with that box? Let me guess, you threw it away LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL
