Indeed it wasdeparture. the V20/30 was an attempt to wrest the 8086
market from intel... a few years in court NEC won as it was indeed
much different inside. What's bizzare is NEC also was licensed
for and made the 8088/6 fully compatable part too.

Anywho the differnces are enough that dropin is not done.
