Students and casual users looking for a basic Android tablet are usually forced to choose between bare-bones devices that seem limiting and more expensive models filled with capabilities they may never use.

Most people have never seen one. Most never will. Yet a compact computer from the late 1980s, stamped with an IBM type number almost no one recognizes, has drawn a small circle of restorers into years of careful work. Roman of Epictronics recently finished another round of repairs on one of them, the IBM 7496 Executive Workstation, turning a once-dead machine into something that boots, stores files, and even plays period sound.
