Hey, get it right! It's actually an NEC V30 at 10.7MHz! :)

Actually these are quite funky little cards, they do up to VGA (mono) and EGA (slow!) graphics, can use hard disks and all that, and I think support using Amiga RAM and Soundblaster emulation and everything too.

OK, it ain't gonna run Quake 4, but it's a nice little toy for running 1980s PC titles. :)

The V30 is actually about the same speed as a 286, but it's not compatible.

And it does Ad-lib and Soundblaster emulation - PCx was the first software emulation to offer it...
