“I still have it and use it, after upgrading it with USB and CompactFlash cards that hold many thousands of programs now freely downloadable off the Internet. “

Are you posting from it? Just curious. What programs are you using ....

That would be funny if I were posting from it! But it's an antique. I bought a couple CompactFlash boards from R&D Automation, called CFFA3000. Allowed me to format cards and load them with programs off the Internet. Also has USB to connect USB sticks. Instant-on booting and running of any programs, mimics floppy discs and hard drives and can even format and copy to floppy discs (which are far too slow for my taste). I play with a number of arcade games and programs that I was fond of back in the 1980s, just for fun. I have a large collection of vintage machines, all working, for nostalgia sake (ick, even a couple early PCs with 5-1/4 floppies).
