Maybe I should add a hardware MPEG decoder card?

That would be quite wasted, as MPEG-1 can be played using software starting from any CPU with the speed of a P1-75 or faster.

Finally did something with this again, only to notice that the floppy drive didn't work anymore. Of course, it did work, but this is one of those jumper-less drives that can only work when hooked up to the A: position on the cable. During my rearranging of components I had swapped it to the B: position on the cable... 🤣

Tried the good old MS Diagnostics, which told me there was a game port despite the lack of physical port. Also, the CPU is actually 200 MHz instead of 166.
