I own an HP 200LX.  It does indeed have an 80186.  The problem is that it
has no floppy or hard disk.  It does support PCMCIA cards as well as
propietary RAM drive in the memory between 640K and 1024K, but as yet ELKS
has no way to access them, so other than seeing what the BogoMIPS value
is, there's not much point in running ELKS on such a system.
