Not this one. Compared to the other 486 boxes in the pile up in the attic this one's

OTOH, I have a 486 ISA peecee that _does_ say
"digital" on the front
of it. I didn't know they were into this stuff, too...
Yep, I've worked with those. Bog-standard cheap PCs. But...do you remember the "applicationDEC
433MP"?
Nope.
They put "application" before
"DEC" in the name to "emphasize the
application-oriented nature of the system" blah blah blah. The decision
of a just-out-of-college marketing suit, no doubt.
It was an odd multiprocessor 80486-based machine that was nowhere near
PC-compatible, if memory serves. Needless to say I think they sold
about four of them. I'd bet that marketing guy is a night manager at a
Wal*Mart now.
Heh.
Darn thing
only seems to want parity RAM, too.
That figures.
