Thanks to everyone, I tried, but with the Etherlink XL installed I noticed that the computer freezes randomly even after the bios, before DOS or when loading DOS. It's an IBM 300GL Socket 7, maybe it won't accept the PCI card?

I bought this low-profile IBM 300GL 6282-66U for $100 shipped. It arrived in great shape with only a couple of scratches/scuffs on the top cover of the case. I bought the case to use as an open-air test bench for LPX-style motherboards, but I’m glad the purchase included a fully functional Pentium …

I did various searches but found no clear answer. I found an 88VL at a good price. On games that support 55 I shouldn't have any problems. But on games that only support 32 is there a built-in emulation? Thank you!
