Runs off an ESP32 with an e-Ink display and has a solar panel on the back.
"Evertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM. It can run DOS, Minix, and some other old 1980s operating systems."
"Runs almost all IBM PC/XT compatible DOS software from the 1980s and early 90s."

This excites me. I love that it has a seven segment display too ... And the solar design limitation is an exciting way to organize the project.

I could do with this for when I'm drafting and don't want to be disturbed by nagware etc.Solar powered? Make it ipv6 too and it's the perfect computer to run off into the woods with never to be seen again.
