    Much respect for the clever name of the company. I hope younger generations still know about Gulliver’s Travels

      If you have to ask, it’s not for you. It’s for retro PC enthusiasts

    Realistically, what can you use this for that’s worthwhile?

    Cool looking device though.

      You could play Wolfenstein?

      But realistically, I could see this being helpful if you maintain a lot of legacy gear and need to drag around something reliable to test with.

        40MHz is plenty for doom.

        Ew, no. Even 386DX-40 is terrible for Doom:

        Doom timedemo 386 DX 40 MHz DOS PC

        486SX-33 is certainly playable, but you really want 486DX2/66:

        Doom Timedemo - 486DX2/66MHz

        Edit: grammar

        Edit 2: These videos are accurate, btw. I upgraded from 386SX-25 to 486SX-33 just for Doom while my friend got the 486DX2/66 Packard Bell. Envy.

        Edit 3: My memory forced me to go back and properly designate the models.
