Darn, so close. The SX cpu's just seem so prolific, I couldnt bring myself to pick the DX.

Seeing the 'bare' 386 (no ?X designator) on the case badge cemented for me that it wasn't an SX. Sadly, I didn't guess that it was 25MHz. Hard drive size was sorta close at least, but I'd not considered it could be a Quantum drive (another big name, sometimes with a big FOOT) back then. No telling the rotational speed without trying to dig around for ancient spec sheets, but probably 3600 or 4200rpm, and maybe a 17 or 18ms seek, 5-6ms track-to-track seek time.

What's interesting to me is that it's pretty ordinary, almost-but-not-quite verging on high spec. A refreshing change from going to a vintage car show and not a single car has anything less than a V8, as if no car made from '57 to '71 had a straight six or I4.

Sometimes, you don't want to see the hot rod with all the chrome all over the body and under the hood(and the accompanying "boomer board", which noöne wants to see), you want to see that '64 Falcon with the 170 cubic inch straight six.
