Probably. Even including the RAM on chip and the rest of the mainboard, too. Take a modern flash chip, and you can emulate a vintage sized HDD with it.
What is their intended market? I see no real use for such a box. Heck, even Linux will probably come to a crawl on that box. And you can probably build something ARM based for the same price with eight gigabytes of RAM and running circles around the 386.
Have fun with your half-brick or whatever you’ll get in the package.

If that breaks a calculator, then it is indeed crap. Holy Moly.
Edit: I just tried this, works fine on KCalk 23.08.5
What did you do to get this “Input Error”?
Yes, this would work with most applications.
This looks more like the boards they used in the 60s and 70s in prototyping. I have done such a board myself in my youth. All 40xx and 74LSxx DIL chips and a plain dot board. And a sh-tload of patching wire where I had to remove the isolation paint before I could solder that stuff.
I don’t think you could build a working GPU with that wirewrap technology, the frequncies needed are simply to high.
And this update outside active hours will have a good chance to “fix” your privacy settings again. Without you noticing. One basically needs a tool that confirms that your privacy settings are still active. And then wait how long it takes Microsoft to declare that tool as “malware”.
While there are ways to disable some aspects, most people don’t even know how to disable what they theoretically could.
You don’t own anything that is not on your own system and/or without any DRM.
In a similar fashion I got my sons old netbook. It has 32GB flash as storage medium. 27GB were in use by Windows, Office, and Firefox. User file size was neglectable. Then it ran into problems because it wanted to download an 8GB update.
Now it runs Kubuntu, which uses about 4GB with LibreOffice and a load of other things.
I removed and sold the wheels of my car, now it does not move.
I took no risks and binned the disk. I wanted to buy a bigger one, anyway.
My first Linux machine crashing. This was way before Redhat, Ubuntu, Arch, or OpenSUSE. This was installed from 60+ floppy disks on a 386-40 with 8MB of RAM.
This machine ran happily, but it crashed under heavy load. I checked out causing the load by using different applications, but could not nail it to a certain software. So the next thing I checked was the RAM. Memtest86 ran for a day without any problems. But the crashes still came. So I got the infrared camera from the lab to see if some hardware overheats. Nope, this went nowhere, either.
Then I tested the harddisk. Read test of the whole HD went without problems. I copied the data on a backup medium and did a write and read test by dd’ing /dev/zero over the whole disk, and then dd’ing the disk to /dev/null. Nothing did show up.
I reinstalled the Linux, and it crashed again. But this time, I noticed that something was odd with the harddisk. I added a second swap partition, disabled the first, and the machine ran without problems. Strange…
So I wrote a small program that tested the part of the disk occupied by the old swap space: Write data, read data, and log everything with timestamps. And there was the culprit: There was an area on the HD where I could write any data, but when I read blocks from that area, a) It took a very long time for the read, b) the blocks I read were containing all zero, regardless of what I had written, and worst of all c) there was no error indication whatsoever from the controller or drive. Down at the kernel level, the zeroed blocks were happily served by the HD with an “OK”. And the faulty area was right in the middle of the original swap partition.
I simply avoid this issue by not starting vim in the first place.
Same with SD cards and similar interfaces.
Well, I think it is necessary if you have mobile devices. Anything nailed down should be connected by wire, but if it is mobile, it should get the connection. Especially if the cell phone link is not that good inside the house.
I only tried GNOME long enough to see how crap it is, and have been a happy KDE user for years.
