Now that it seems that this really interesting topic -(and a discussion on the highest levels of intelligence ! )- goes towards backward compability, please let me add some thoughts.
Why can't the manufacturers and soft devs support my lovely 100% working Ensonic and SB ISA cards? I have boxes full of them lovely things, nothing wrong with them !! And no ISA slots on my new board!
Why can't they add a floppy conns on my newer motherboard? Have boxes full of them 5.25" and 3.5" drives and floppies laying around, and no connectors on my board !!
Why can't they add IDE conns on my new motherborad? Boxes full of them things, even working 5 MB ( yeah, really !!!) ones. Nothing wrong with them things !!! And no IDE connectors on my board!
And so on and so on .....
Oh yeah, almost forgot to mention those lovely S3 graph cards! But no slots on my new board!!

Just ignore this post, please, THX*
And I want backwards CP/M compatibility !! Such lovely programs that it could run!!
OK OK OK, keep your calm, gonna leave you discuss without me.
