When the 386 came to market in 1986, it blew everything else away. Having one of these was considered "life in the fast lane" and until the 486 & Pentium, it was the ultimate CPU to use. This is an overview of the NCR Comten PC 386SX from 1989, a 386 processor-based sort of IBM PS/2 35SX ish clone, as well 386 machines in general. Also compares its speed to the IBM PC and XT range of machines. Footage of: Windows/386 2.1 Commander Keen 4 Goodbye Galaxy Arkanoid Test Drive III The Passion Bubble Ghost World Class Leader Board This is a response to some requests for footage of some of my systems "in action" instead of just a review. But that would be boring I think so lots of facts, commentary and history as well. Oh and I paid about +shipping for this PC, no monitor or extras. I have since added a 3.5" 1.44MB floppy drive, 210MB HDD and Sound Blaster 2.0 card.
