Actually, I already have an 8086. It's an AT&T (Olivetti) beast that's
pretty scary...and a Digital 386 I just can't bare to part with. And
the 386 actually has Redsplat 5.1, not Debian, assuming its' hard drives
still work.

Sadly, (or gladly?) the rest of my ancient computers (except for my
Apple IIe) were distributed out of the trunk of my hatchback at a LUG
meeting several moves ago.
