I got it from a friend of mine probably around seven years ago (long time, I know :p), and it's been sitting in storage at my grandparents place, and I still have no idea what exactly I should do with it. If I'm going to use it for something though, I'll have to case mod it so that I can take out the hard drive and read off the CHS numbers, as the onboard battery died a long time ago and it's using an older BIOS that doesn't autodetect such things.
I don't know the exact specs on it aside from the fact that it has a 386SX16, some sort of VGA card, a 40mb hard drive (at least that's what I was told) and I think 1MB of ram, so I'm thinking of slapping in a Soundblaster Pro (or one of my many SB16s if I can't get a Pro) and using it to run 286-era stuff like Wolf3D, Dune II, Wing Commander, etc.
I've already got another 486 box in storage, and the parts to build a second one, but I'd like to have something a little slower, a bit more like a "vintage" DOS machine, and less like a wannabe Pentium.
