Re: FS: Vortex Golden Gate 486slc2 with ISA cards.

@JKD,

Do you know if all Vortex 486slc Bridgeboards at 25mHz can be "internally clock doubled" to 50mHz?  Or does it take a new crystal to accomplish?  And do you think most, or all of them can handle such doubling and retain reliability in operation?

I have a 486slc 25mHz that I am about to put back into service to run a couple of old MSDOS programs/games, so I would like to speed it up as much as possible.  I am also looking for my 386sx Vortex and Commodore bridgeboards so I can sell them if anyone is interested.  But unlike you, I don't think they are worth the kind of money you are asking.  Good luck getting $500 for all your cards together, you might find a few collectors that will be willing to pay that much, but the economy is not too good right now and as you said, the dollar is weak.

look here

How to upgrade your GoldenGate486slc/25mhz to 486slc2/50mhz!


Thanks, now tell me that you actually bought two of them and are going to give me a great deal on the extra one you have lying around. :lol:

I just took the last 15 minutes searching all over the Internet including eBay and can't find such chip new old stock or used for sale anywhere.

I think this may take a while to find. :-?
