Tandy/Memorex Video Information System
An absolutely ridiculous attempt by Tandy to create a CD-i style gaming+media device, which was based off of a weird embedded version of Windows 3.1, and available only at Radio Shack stores. Released sometime in 1992 in North America, the VIS had an Intel 286 CPU, 1 MB of RAM, and an unknown video output capability, presumably similar to PCs of the time running Windows 3.1. To be short, it failed miserably, becoming a joke at Radio Shack stores - even when it was still in production. Tandy never tried again in this industry, for good reason.

Operating Systems (Intel 286)
Emulation Nest
This device runs an operating system which is known to emulate various devices with EOPs. See the DOS page.
Modular Windows 1.0/MS-DOS 3.x
minimal MS-DOS 3.x, a few drivers, and the fabled Modular Windows
What came by default on this system. Very minimal, as stated. Was used as the basis for Windows 3.1 mode in Windows 9x. Nobody seems to know what can actually be ran on this, which would open up experiments if these devices were not so uncommon.
