I have 2 PIX Classics and a new PIX 506. I Opened the PIX classic, and it has a Pentium 133 inside, and probably a lot of proprietary BIOS stuff. The new 506, that has only been out since July this year is a Pentium 200. Haven't opened it yet. But looking inside the Classic, true it is board/memory/cpu/Intel NICs. You could never duplicate the chips without a PROM burner, and some of those eproms are soldered. If you want to practice get a PIX506 for $1450.
