    Sorry to throw a wet blanket on your fire...
    
    I would venture to guess that emulating anything on a 25mHz system will
    not produce acceptable performance.  Even with a real VESA video
    option, your system is underpowered for most of the 3D style video
    games...

6996.3VESA bus 3D cards?ODIXIE::SIMPSONTPC = world's biggest con job!Tue Feb 25 1997 11:038
    Speaking of VESA video adapters...  Does anyone know of any VESA BUS
    video adapters that support 3D graphics?  Creative Labs has a Video
    Blaster, but it looks to be around $300.  A little pricey for my
    budget...
