Is that a PCI board with 1 VLB slot (if so I have one of them, shitty and no cache)?

yep, pci, one vlb, no cache, yep that's the one. thing is, it's the only 486 board i have that's lasted through the years, and been usable on demand for whatever i want to test with it and NOT be flaky. and it's the only board that will let me run my dx33 at 80 with the least amount of bitching.

How the hell do you run a 486/33 at 80?

it was more of a fluke really, i didn't realize i had my 33 on there and set it for the 80 jumpers and it came up as 80, got VERY VERY hot, even with a heatsink. That chip is now nicely packed in foam and put in a little box. It gets treated with great respect...

Well you should be able to dig up some 486 gear on ebay or if you are lucky on the local freecycle.

i've tried the free cycle here in seattle, it's not that good for computer parts, besides, i've got a contact at the local RE-PC that hooks me up with some of the best deals on old parts, if i need something, he usually has it and will remove it from their e-bay store if i need him too. really good service. he's actually how i got the m919 in the first place, he said it didn't work and i plugged it in and it came up. 128mb ram and all.
