It's a real 'Intel Inside (TM)' 386+387, the only thing that not 'normal'
is, the 387 is a 20 MHz rated one and it's running at 16. But I have never
had any problems with it before and I ran SCO,Unixware and SVR4.0 on it.
BTW FreeBSD feels a lot faster than those, but it helps on an 8 Mega byte 
machine if the kernel is only 500k bytes in stead of 1500k.
