The HP 150 is a (not) IBM compatible, circa 1985. It's an 8088 that
runs a wacky disk format with a correspondingly wacky OEM version of
MS-DOS. I have one of these machines, but don't have the DOS for it.
It'll run a small subset of early MS-DOS based software that doesn't
make any hardware accesses -- sort of the same situation as a DEC
Rainbow. There's a FAQ at
http://www.mdn.com/oksoftware/Computers/hp150faq.html.
