I have one of these, if you have any questions. I object to gutting them - they're amazing little devices as-is. Some notes:
You can hold down Shift while booting to let you into the Windows 3.0 Program Manager so that you can edit the GUI. (It is not, as claimed in the article, Windows 3.1.)
Holding down Alt-Shift allows you to edit the boot drive, and then there's a SYNC script to write your changes back. But it is VERY EASY to irretrievably brick the device doing this, so be ultra ultra careful.
Maybe yours is running a different version of the software? The second picture in the article looks like it's running the original software, and it shows Windows 3.1 (running in 386 Enhanced Mode).
Agreed that it seems like a shame to gut the device. If it didn't boot, it'd be a different matter, but this one looks fairly functional-- seems like destroying a bit of history to me.
