Niether one needed sipps.
I did have sipps at one time.
should have kept at least one.
but instead, snipped the legs of the sipps and made them into simms.

386DX/20 with 387 and this math copro, ega and this mem expansion card
was STATE of the art and actually performed most task as fast ast the

it FOR SOME STUPID REASON!!!!!
