Anybody ever used the "Sirius PC Compatibles" ? I played with them in
my university lab. These are MS-DOS (version 1.25) machines equipped
with a "hi-res" monochrome graphic display (which is not hercules
compatible), sports an 8086 design and 800K floppy drives. The floppy
drive actually uses variable sector format.

How would that rate as the most incompatible PC ?  :-)
