Developer ericjenott says the system is designed to emulate an IBM XT computer with an 80186 processor and 1MB of RAM, although the actual processor is an ESP32 microcontroller.

It's really too bad you can't run Windows 3.1 on it. It requires at least a 286, but a 386 would probably be needed if you want to run games.

Is there any point to running Windows 3.0? It was way before my time, even with Windows 3.1, I first encountered it as kid in 95/96.
