I recently got a few parts together to build a 486 computer to mess around with OS/2 warp
3 and a few other old OS's.
Now that I got the system together I find the motherboard is dead, my other boards are PCI
so I cant use them.
Anybody have an old 486 socket 3 motherboard they dont need? Has to have at least 2 VLB
slots and no pci slots. Boards with 72 pin memory slots would be nice but not necessary
since I have 30 pin simms around here. I will need a processor also if I cant use my AMD
486/120 or 486/133 on it. The board I have has a 486/66 but I am not sure if its dead or
not.
The reason I want VLB is to use my promise IDE caching controller and the Diamond stealth
64 VRAM (with expansion memory board) VLB cards which were pretty fast in their day, that
and I dont have an old world VESA machine to mess with.
If you have a board let me know and we can work something out.

I looked and I don't, sorry. I thought I had a board for you, but it
turned out to me a socket 7 PCI motherboard.

Nice timing! I am digging throught the piles of s ... tuff, and ran
across a 486 motherboard with one 8 bit slot and six 16 bit slots. Three
of the 16 bit slots also have the additional local bus slots. this has a
socket 3 with an IBM 486 DX4 processor installed. It has slots for four
72 pin Simms with no memory installed although I have a bag of 4 MB
Simms to populate it if you need the memory. Cover postage, and it's
yours.

If your in the USA this sounds like a deal. BTW is there cache on this
board? I assume its a standard AT motherboard and not some hybrid?
My zip is 44509 if you want to calculate the postage

it already and a pair of 72 pin simm slots.
