I found the orginal 3.5" floppies for my 286 NEC portable computer! The ones I had were corroded. Software included Ms-Dos 4.1, WordStar, and an excel like database. The beast is still chugging along with a 20MB hard drive, 640KB of RAM, plus extended EMS. It had a wonderful amber plasma screen with no burn in. Updates in the future include CF hard drive and network interface.
