>bunch of idjits decide to make a modern motherboard for retro PC gaming that depends on an outdated SoC module that is usually out of stock
>and a bunch of SBC and special snowflake modules to provide MT-32, MIDI, and OPL3 functionality
>CPU SoC module supports ISA and PCIe, but they said fuck that and forced an AGP 1x bus on an AGP 8x slot
>$300, doesn't include the CPU module or AGP video card you will need to use it, or any of the other parts or cables
>supposed to be a hybrid DOS/Win9x system, but won't be very good for either
Meanwhile:
>crazy chinese on aliexpress release Pocket 386
>fully functional laptop with screen, 386SX with 8MBs of RAM, ISA16 bus, VGA breakout on GPIO pins, built-in OPL3/Adlib audio and a random VGA card with at least 512KB VRAM
>all video cards built-in are made from 100% authentic harvested retro VGA cards
>$200, includes VGA/PS2 breakout, LPT port breakout, serial port breakout, 2GB CF card with DOS 6.22 and Win3.11 preloaded, and AC adapter
>surprisingly good pre-Win9x DOS gaming machine, even better with PS/2 keyboard and mouse and a CRT monitor and ISA 2-4MB VGA and SoundBlaster cards
