Yeah. It's almost kind of a standard PC, but has bizzare weird quirks for everything, hence the #ifdef city. There aren't _that_ many of them still around, but definitely still a few -- I remember merging patches to fix PC98 support from Bugzilla at some point. Hopefully we can can support for it in a couple of years or so, but at the moment I guess just not actively breaking it should be fine. Cheers, Daniel
