I have one of these - very nice.  For those that don't remember, I
have a NIC in one ISA slot of the dock, and a proprietary parallel
card attached to a device programmer in the other slot.  I use Kermit
and a packet driver to get device files in and out.  The only problems
I've had with mine were a) dead battery in the Dallas clock chip (not
a "regular" BIOS battery, but not a unique arrangement), and b) a
missing battery and missing power brick, so it only works attached to
the dock.

As a small 286, though, it's a nice package.  Someone (else) should jump on it!
