Pocket 386

Not a survivor but a new build: a 2024 handheld that puts an ALi M6117 — a 386SX core still made for embedded use — into a seven-inch clamshell with OPL3 sound and a real ISA slot. It exists because DOS gaming did not stop having an audience, and it answers a question the period never did: what a 386 laptop would have been if the parts had been this small. A modern curiosity that belongs beside the originals.
