I ordered this from China. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/372247259371

It took 10 weeks to arrive. The colour of the font doesn't look Cyrix standard, which is normally white. The item I received has tan coloured printing. If these are fake, how are these companies able to get ahold of the layout to reproduce them? Did Cyrix change the font colour in different markets?

Well, they could have at least used some white remarking paint. Unfortunately, I have no way to test it. I bought it to put in a Kingston 286-to-386 adapter and have no 286 boards left.
