So....I picked this up on ebay today:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/150845612270?ssPageNa … 9#ht_500wt_1288

It's a 8086 Model 30.

I've been going through the older posts and from what I can tell, this particular machine is a big YMMV for older games. What I can't find is any information on adding third-party cards and compatibility.

I'm assuming I should be able to add some sort of sound card to this. I still have to do my research, but I think I should be able to add some sort of Sound Blaster as it has 8-bit ISA slots open.

My problem is upgrading the video. It's got MCGA built in which I'm prepared to live with as anything I want to run on a machine this slow shouldn't need anything more than that (except for EGA games...). Are there any commonly available VGA cards I can add to this machine?
