Vortex made their own 486 Bridgeboard-type card. I don't think they did 486 upgrades for the 2386.


No and no...

Vortex did their own bridgeboards, the ones designed for A2000/3000/4000 were all based on the 386SX.

Later on the they sold them with Cyrix CPUs falsly advertised as 486 but still a 386SX at heart (no intregrated FPU, 16bit data, 24bit address).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
