Does anyone want some 486 motherboards? I'm not
sure who makes them (made
in Tiawan, SiS chipset).
They have the CPU (486 DX/2 50Mhz); 6 ISA slots, 2- 72pin SIMM slots and
8- 30 pin slots, AMI bios, AT keyboard, SiS chipset. And I'll throw in
the VGA card and I/O cards that are currently installed with them (I/O
card has FDD, IDE, LPT, 2- Com). Both are ISA cards, but have a 2nd
connector that looks a bit like AGP and hangs off the back end of the ISA
slots (3 of the 6 slots have this addition connector, so these two cards
fit into 2 of those).
These sound a bit like common generic 486 boards. The 'extra' part on
some slots is a VL: 'VESA local bus', a 32bit extension for video (and
some other) cards.
