The gate array will also emulate most registers of the 80XX hardware of
a PC.
Still there are just prototypes; there is no stable working version so
far; this is coming "real soon now".

Hmm, I do not like the idea of this thing. It has no slots.
Ok, it will run MS DOS 3.2 and clean DOS programs, it will not support
new hard/software (VGA OS/2). This is coming "real soon now" as the AT
(80286) version.
Hmm.
