EBAY: SBC 486 50MHz (not mine)

Pretty nifty.  In my experience, a 486DX2-50 will also run Windows 98 (provided the drivers for the hardware are available.)  It's a shame this can't share resources with the Amiga side, otherwise it would have a bit more value to me, personally.

You say you found a manual; I assume the ISA bus is active and it would make use of other ISA peripherals in the Amiga?  And is that on-board networking?

I'd like to run OS/2 Warp on one of these things.

Now that would be cool.

Loved that series.
I had about a half dozen K6-III+ at one point.
All would clock at at least 550MHz.
And one I got over 600.

Funny, I didn't have as much luck with the K6-2+.
Probably because these were just harvested K6-III+ chips with half the cache disabled.

Problem was, if you benched a K6-III+ and a lowly AMD Duron at the same speed, the Duron wiped the floor with the K6.

Come to think of it, I always did get a kick out of using chips that were not intended for desktop use in desktop motherboards.
My last Athlon XP was an XP-M 3000+. Easily good for 2.4 Ghz, pushing it 2.5.


Sorry, way off topic.

I dunno, this seems at least partially on top.  I have a Solaris 8 x86 server running in my home office on a AMD K6-III/400 at 500MHz.  At 550MHz the motherboard and what-not became unstable (old ASUS.)  The motherboard is dated 1997 (or 1998, can't recall which) and the BIOS supports 128GB hard drive, maximum (oddly, wouldn't take my 120GB, so I have a 160GB in there.)  It's a fast, stable box.  I actually got hold of a K6-III+/500 that I would like to try, but I have to do some weird finagling with the voltage and I never could get it to run stable with 256MB even though specs say it will take the 64MB SIMMs required to do so.  There's a Tyan mobo that I'm watching for which will run it at the proper voltage and 600MHz, is ATX, and takes PC133 RAM.  There's also a DFI board which I fancy, but rarely ever turns up.
