Much respect for the clever name of the company. I hope younger generations still know about Gulliver’s Travels
Does it run NetBSD?

For anyone who loves retro PC stuff, I highly recommend LGR on YouTube. His videos are a treat to have in the background, and sometimes to even fall asleep to.
Mmm. Chunky computers and bits.
Realistically, what can you use this for that’s worthwhile?
Cool looking device though.
You could play Wolfenstein?
But realistically, I could see this being helpful if you maintain a lot of legacy gear and need to drag around something reliable to test with.
You could relive booting up your computer at breakfast to get it ready to use by lunchtime.
Retro gaming?
40MHz is plenty for doom.

Ew, no. Even 386DX-40 is terrible for Doom:
Doom timedemo 386 DX 40 MHz DOS PC
486SX-33 is certainly playable, but you really want 486DX2/66:
Edit: grammar
Edit 2: These videos are accurate, btw. I upgraded from 386SX-25 to 486SX-33 just for Doom while my friend got the 486DX2/66 Packard Bell. Envy.
Edit 3: My memory forced me to go back and properly designate the models.
I had a 386sx@25MHz too and I don’t remember it being that slow. Unless that demo has the detail cranked up to high or something like that. Although, like that first commenter I had a math co-processor, so maybe that helped.
Or maybe my memory is off and I made the window tiny.
The Pocket 386 gets its name from its 386 SX compatible processor, and the system should be able to run MS-DOS and Windows 95, but isn’t going to good for anything much newer than that
Or use your pocket pc capable of anything for that.

It’s cool but why?
If you have to ask, it’s not for you. It’s for retro PC enthusiasts
