Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

Heh, though for obtanium, I'd bet rise/geode industrial 486ish SOCs with 200Mhz for Pentium class performance. IDK what would be the best way to go, but "what you can get" is a large consideration.

Edit: vortex86 maybe, that was one I was trying to remember.

Yes, judging by M6117 used here next could be DM&P Vortex86

Thread started for Pocket 386 info and chatter so this one isn't derailed.. Pocket 386, the brother of Hand386 and Book8088, the story so far ...

I probably wont be popular but I have ordered a PicoMem board - I'm really looking forward to seeing if it works with the Book8088. I need to flash @n0p BIOS v1.0.6 first though just to give it the best chance.... and actually I have the replacement LCD driver board to install too.
