 * I think there was a SIS chipset motherboard by M-tech that allows 75MHz 
 * bus clock and 33MHz PCI bus.

Ok, I did a little research.  I had to install acroread (xpdf doesn't
read encrypted pdf, whatever that is), it appears VPX supports
asynchronous PCI while VP2 doesn't.

Which means, FIC PA-2007/2011 are PCI=CLK/2, while PA-2010* are
PCI=33MHz or PCI=CLK/2 (I don't know if they give you the choice).
