Ugh ... Dead disk space & the glorious CGA graphics....
Although I do recall getting windows 3.0 real mode running on an icon.. and some sierra CGA games (man hunter sanfrancisco) with the dos emulator....
I also recall something about cd .. not working correctly....
And that 'turing' thing? Pascal wanabe.. how horrid. Although I always wondered what Ontario did with all those old things... The ICON II's were 100000% better than the I's though.
