The bizarre motherboard I can think of using 386sx
style CPU based on
IBM 486SLC2 50 w/ 2 VLB slots and 64K cache room for extra 64K for
128K total. It does work but performance stank due to 32 bits vlb
crimped down to 16 then back up 32 and vice vesa. A vendor made them
for IBM and IBM used them in their "early clones" machine. Took me
long time to find the jumper info. Ugh.
I've got an IBM-made OEM machine (mine is branded by Lap Power) with a big
daughter-board with seven or so ISA slots and three VLB slots. The mobo
features a Blue Lightning processor and parity RAM. That's really the only
reason I still keep it around (space constraints...). I used to have two,
since I had rescued the chassis from one off the street without knowing that
it was, then failing to find the processor =). It only served as a stool for a
while, though, and was recently rationalised into the garbage.
I wonder if I should set it up this evening just to see how it performs as a
NetBSD machine.
Oh, it had an all-plastic DLC-33 FPU from IIT, too.
