Honestly I feel like the Pocket 386 might be a bit awkward of a system.  It's a 386 SX so entry-level as far as 32-bit systems, but 40 MHz so maybe not TOO sluggish?  Just sort of an odd duck.

I think a 486DX2-66 or similar would open more options up for DOS gaming and probably more 32-bit DOS software in general.  So I'm still holding out hope for something like that.  But meanwhile, it's super cool that someone is producing this type of retro-but-new machine at all!  (though I gotta admit, I'm not sure what to do with the Book8088 after setting it up and playing for an evening)
