Can you identify this PC? I think it's a Tandon, but no idea what spec/model. Maybe 386? (no mouse attached in the photo). It was my childhood PC. Thanks!

Seem familiar? 😀 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325338679506

Looks like an AT clone probably a 286 with a knee.

😂

Thanks. If I had more time and skills I would buy it and try to repair. I guess it is a 386. But the fact that my PC from the photo doesn't have a sticker (like the one from eBay) doesn't give much away.

Would love to build an emulated version of it. Do you know if it's possible to import a BIOS into Pcem? I've found a 286 BIOS file for a Tandon 286.

https://www.timetoast.com/timelines/papa-y-las-tic - this guy has a pic of a Tandon 286 - same case, no sticker - and says:

"This was the first computer my father bought. He bought it while living in London to work on his thesis. This computer, which seems almost prehistoric to us today, did not even have a mouse. It had an Intel 286 processor, hence its name."

Thanks! Yes, it seems that maybe they only introduced stickers for their 386 models. So maybe it was a 286.
