I bought an old i386 industrial pc card nib at my local thrift store yesterday.

What kind of slot does the i386 card use? If it is ISA, EISA or MCA, good luck finding a machine that can take it. There might even be timing issues with PCI.

“finding a machine that can take it.”

It would be like a full archaeological dig ... Indiana Jones and the legend of the 386 ... but somewhere in the back, at the bottom of the pile in my attic..

I imagine you you could find just about anything.
