I wouldnt give that thing much of a chance. See, one of the best
thing about embedded devices is that they can use "slow" and "old"
CPUs like 286s, 486s and XTs to run software which was designed
to be ran under "slow" and light computers. NT however.. I do not
believe that MS will get it to work on something slower then a 486.
If it all.

Thats one of the reasons why DOS, QNX, and even CP/M are among the
most popular OSs for embedded-devices.
