How about with an AMD > 486DX4-100 CPU? ASUS 486SP3G 486 PCI board, i have one with 486dx4-66. runs beautifully. ncr scsi builtin at irq9. 3 pci slots, 2 with irqs 10 and 11, pci inta# only. mine did not support write-back cache until a dirty cache line tag sram chip was added. the addition of that chip resulted in a 10% speed increase. (make world times: 30kSec --> 27kSec). excellent board. i am very happy with mine. > Jonathan M. Bresler jmb@kryten.atinc.com | Analysis & Technology, Inc.
