I made the daft assumption that it would work with the currently quite cheap
Overlay hardware for the PC that tends to require DirectDraw(TM).

Unfortunately I personally am not very optimistic about this product, I see
Why acorn users would buy a PC pard but fail to see why PC users would buy
an Acorn card. (But then I'm a pessimist).

Did anyone see the hoardes of people that bought the Creative Labs 3DO on a
PCI card, card?
Neither did I. :-(
