Yes, very true!
It can easily be done, because I have a complete 386 on an ISA Card, that I can plug into any PC that has a 16 bit ISA Slot ( Even into a 286 ) and it turns that PC into a 386 SX25.
The card simply turns the real PC into a dumb system that does nothign at all except use the other cards and I/O.
So, as an example, If I plug it into the duron 850, I can use the AGP Video, SBLive 1024 and 10GB HD - on a 386!
So, yes, it can be done.
Of course, the difference there is that these 2 machines are still based on the same x86 idea, so then we would need to go about getting 0x0 stuff to work with x86, but at a hardware level, this should NOT take up any time from the processor at all!
