Hello,
Does anyone have experience of running 486s (DX4-100 in
particular) on PCI motherboards. I'm planning to aquire
the following for FreeBSD:
Clone m'board with Intel 486DX4-100 and the following built in:
Phoenix BIOS
UNC chipset
Dual EIDE channels
FDD controller
2 16550 serial ports
1 enhanced parallel port
4 72 pin SIMM sockets
3 PCI slots
4 16 bit ISA slots
Any comments? I've heard that Phoenix BIOSs have problems,
are these insurmountable?
For those who are interested, here are some spot prices
from a major spares supplier here in the UK (inclusive prices):
PCI m'board with 75MHz Pentium cpu .... # 457 (UK pounds)
with 90MHz Pentium .... # 651
Intel Triton with 75MHz Pentium .... # 786
with 90MHz Pentium .... # 757
Dual Pentium m'board (no cpus) .... # 704
Thanks for your time,
Jon
