Sorry about the guessing game... It may seem a little childish, but I was curious to see what people thought
The computer is unbranded, but it seems to be a sort of IBM clone. The inside say 286LX-A so I'm guessing it's running an Intel 80286. The inside has a regular motherboard from the time, amazingly the motherboard has more slots for expansions than shown on the outside. Here are a few pictures, if I see anything else I will say it.
The dark floppy drive is an add-on that I temporally put their because the beige floppy drive is dead and the owner wanted to keep the HDD. So I'm hunting for some meanwhile.
The picture of the IBM PC is what gave me the sign that it was a DOS machine.
Just thought I would share this cool artifact

Now that I look at it, it does, but I see a better resemblance to the compaq portable. The machine I have was made around 1986. The Tandy 1400 I have was made in 1988. Amazing how they managed to shrink down a lot. From what I was told the person paid 1250$ at the time. The 286 proscesor can only do text based programs, this means that I can't run Windows or anything with fancy graphics. I run windows 1.01 on my Tandy portable. I will take a pictures of the internal space later.
