The NEC V20 and V30 are essentially the same chip, except that the V20
has an 8-bit data path, so it replaces the 8088, and the V30 has a 16
bit data path, so it replaces the 8086.  Note that the two are not
interchangeable.  Secondly, there are no other NEC chips (i.e. for 
upgrading 80286 or 386 machines).  There is no such drive as the ST125,
it is the ST225, and in case you haven't been reading all the flames here,
it seems to be a bit of a lemon...
