That said, the more I look at it, and the more I look at a true MVII card the more I wonder just what was missing on this card. A true MVII has a pair of rather large custom ASICs in the center of the board and I can't believe the 80186 (or whatever that chip is on the top center of the board) could emulate it all. So it would be interesting to see what this thing was and what it did.
