Yes, they're right buggers to take apart.
We had a few 286, 386SX and 386DX machines too....though I think there was only
1 machine on the site which was a DX.
ISTR there was a set of patches included with DOS which you had to run on the
'186 machine to switch it to operate in IBM compatible mode.

Nothing....they're great machines. Just that with the way PCs have come into
fashion in colleges' I was surprised to see them still in use.
They were replaced just before I left there....luckily for my collection. ;-)
