+This is a modern clone of a IBM PC (XT), with a NEC V20 CPU, compact flash,
+VGA graphics, serial and parallel connector and a USB connector (which mainly
+serves as mass storage device).
+
+It runs the [8088 BIOS](https://github.com/skiselev/8088_bios) not the Chinese
+pirated one. This also includes the [XT-IDE](https://www.xtideuniversalbios.org/)
+disk BIOS for the compact flash or serial disk drive.
