That's quite amazing, for CPU it's not a 386, not a 286 even, it's a 80186! At 7.9Mhz and up to 4 MB of RAM, indeed it could run win 3.0 quite well.

Problem was the display.

Oh, and it has a numeric keypad!

Nice! I wonder if any Tandy 2000 has survived, also 80186 based.

It's one of my favorite retro devices, I sometimes mess with it for weeks on end. I'm still sorting out a practical use for it. But almost all of those rely on the idea of getting some wifi setup for it. I've been looking into the idea of embedding an ESP8266 into an old PCMCIA modem, gut the modem bits, hope the uart is seperate and accesible/hackable and ... smoosh things together.
