My MainBoard seems to run FreeBSD 2.1 just fine with an Intel > 80486DX(33), but when I rejumper and put in the Cx486DX2(66), I get I have one of these and it works fine; I suspect that it's not interacting too happily with your motherboard.

Intel do a DX4/100 with integrated regulator. It's a little rich, but we have a couple here that run (in ASUS PVI486SP3 boards) just fine. > John Lind, Starfire Consulting Services -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"
