Huh. Hadn't looked up the original specs in... Ever? Idk.
Operating system: MS-DOS 5.0 or higher
Processor: Intel 486 DX2/66 MHz or equivalent
RAM memory: 4 MB
Hard drive: 10 MB free space
Sound card: compatible with Sound Blaster
The question is why a disposable vape needs a high performance 32-bit 24 MHz ARM MCU. What exactly does it do that can't be accomplished by an 8-bit microcontroller.

But does it run Doom?

The MCU only has 3KB of SRAM so probably not. I think you need at least something like a Pi Pico or an ESP32 for that.

Looks like you are correct without an upgrade.

Hah, cool. I was wondering if it has WiFi, serial stuff makes more sense.
The ecig waste is tragic though.
