Wish me luck, ordered a USB to serial cable and some size and null adapters from AliExpress. Has to be worth ten quid to try and get this machine online....

The processor is a NEC V30 at 8Mhz. The ibm pc xt ran an 8088 at 4.7Mhz.

The V30 was pin compatible with the 8086, and at the same clock speed, was faster than the Intel processor. It also had extra instructions, including some from the 80286.

The amstrad ppc512 also has a socket for a 8087-2 math coprocessor.
