Add Compaq Portable 486
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No, it isn't.
Describe the solution you'd like 86Box emulates a great variety of machines, and this can be expanded further more on by adding the the Compaq Portable 486, to allow for emulation under 86Box.
Describe alternatives you've considered None. I can't find an emulator that can emulate this specific machine, which could make 86Box one of the first emulators to emulate this very machine.
Additional context Nothing that I can put here.
Do you know where I could the BIOS of this machine? As well as a picture of the board and/or a manual.
For a manual there's https://hp.manualscollection.com/?fid=fe378f6afaa16ce2572be622e58fa6e6 but afaik the bios isn't available
Found some pictures of the board. Imgur Standalone 4000x3000 Image Imgur Gallery 4000x3000 Images, keep scrolling down Edit: Fixed broken link at the bottom. I realized it when I came back to this days later and couldn't click on the bottom link.
It currently can not be added because it's EISA.
telanus> I did find the BIOS (and even a full dump of the Compaq keyboard controller (8042)).
When will EISA machines be supported?
According to my suggestion to implement EISA: https://github.com/86Box/86Box/issues/1419
We're hoping that it will be available in 86Box v4.0.
