It was a common and affordable hardware upgrade for 8088 and 8086 machines.
It's a shame we didn't see more of this - while accelerators that plugged in to CPU sockets have been made for ages, the number of CPUs like the NEC ones that are made to be compatible with and improve existing systems is small. Lots of hardware has been wasted that could've had longer lives.
