NEC 386

I've been giving Win 11 a good testing and think I needed to get away 
from the 21st century so I pulled an NEC386 out of my attic. It's been 
up there 20 years and doggone it...Put it on my bench and it booted 
right up.

It has one of those box type cmos batteries that was not completely 
dead...2v and the clock had only lost 15 years :)

I actually had a spare battery for it, quite old but 3v. I think a new 
one would be 4.5v

Anyway it had Word Perfect on it and I finally figured out how to exit.   F7


It has 2 megs of RAM, a 16mhz cpu and a 40 meg MFM drive.


I sent a message to NEC and they actually replied withinthe hour.  They 
were glad I liked the 386 and that the company is now only in Japan.
