I have a 286 that I found on the side of the road in hard rubbish, but unfortunately the CMOS is a bit screwy.  It comes up with a "GATE A20" error on boot.  Not  been able to resolve the issue, but there is a bit of corrosion around the motherboard where the CMOS battery was. (it leaked it seems).
