Ha!  The DEC Professional 350 is basically a Rainbow.  It's also basically
a VAX 8000 series console device.  In other words, it has an 8088 processor
in it with some DEC-y things attached to it, and makes nothing better than
a space heater.  I wouldn't even try to find useful software for it.  Spend
your time finding a real PC and save some money.
