I originally thought it was an infrared interface because all I saw was the black square. Whoever upgraded it to a pentium just pulled out the wired to the LED display, when i plugged them back in, the selector switch changed if from 20 to 33 which is what told me '386' I didn't think they made 286's that fast, or 486's that slow.

I do recall that 286/20mhz processors were made. One of my brother's friends had one, but I never used it. The 486 processors started at 25mhz and went to 100mhz (intel) or 133mhz (AMD). The 133mhz was was nice, especially with one of those motherboards that had PCI slots on it.

The two numbers sound right for a 386 though.
