No doubt. And while I never used to consider x86 DOS PC's as retro, enough
time has passed that I've started feeling nostalgic for them.  So I've got a
few lol.  Working on a COMPAQ 286 now, waiting on a RTC chip replacement. Of
course what I really want is an IBM XT but they're out of my price range
right now.

Considering the subject, I should give CP/M-86 a try.
