I was checking over an A2000 that I was using as a pedestal for
an Amiga 4000d and discovered via SysInfo that the machine had
a card inside called the A2386SX... The 386SX rang alarm bells
in my head and so I decided to open up the computer.

Yeah, that's the best of them.
At least it will run Windows 3.1 in "non-crippled" mode.

Its kind of a weak cpu compared to an '020 or higher, but it did give you DOS compatibility and a way to use those ISA slots.

Today, its kind of silly considering how much PCs have evolved.
