This Icon was a hunk of junk. The only value it provided were to the students with any sort of curiosity about how this frankensystem worked. It was only later that it was clear it took advantage of procurement processes in the most extreme sense. A pure embarrassment of technology, grifters, and government. We learned more from the PETs, Commodores, and after that the PS/2s.

The Watcom compilers on it were pretty good. I started with Pascal, then moved to C, and finally Assembly.

I do remember compiling being slow, Turbo C under DOS was much faster.
