Greetings all! This is my first post here, so apologies if my post is a bit off, or the formatting is wonky.
A few months ago I was given the below system for free. I'd wanted a DOS based system for a while, and had never had any luck coming up with one so I jumped on this when I saw it. I'm not super knowledgeable on DOS-Era machines, but it's something I'd actively like to expand into. So I got it home and fired it up. I thought it was kind of abnormal that there were no manufacturer markings anywhere on the chassis, just a badge marked 'EXE 286 AT' - the individual who gave me the system confirmed it was initially a 286-based system, but was upgraded down the line to a 386. The system was loaded with Windows 3.1, which features a tiled background with the markings 'IBM PS/1'. So I would guess it's probably one of those, but as to what exact model I have no clue. Hopefully someone here does!
The other image attached is a small peripheral that was included with the machine. The person I got it from explained what it was at the time, but unfortunately I've since forgotten. If anyone does know what it is, please re-inform me!
Thanks for your time y'all
