just thinking out loud here,
since that Compaq portable is from 1987
and GW-Basic is from 1983, it superseded BASICA which was originally
intended for IBM PC's
and GW-Basic was intended for non-IBM compatibles such as Compaq
I'd go with GW-BASIC
BTW, the
Compaq Portable III says it has a 286 not a 386
