This was the U.S. version of the NEC PC-9801, which was made in a
variety of configurations.  I've never seen one with two 8086's
and two 8087's on the motherboard, though I've probably seen six
different variations of the PC-9801.  I might still have a set of
manuals on hand, but they're in Japanese.  Although the computer
was emphatically not a PC-compatible, it has more hardware
compatibility with the PC than NEC let on.
