WTT for Socket 7 or socket 5 CPU
« on: June 24, 2010, 03:17:20 AM »
I have a SBC with no CPU and no manual. It is a socket 7, so I need a socket 7 or possibly a socket 5 based CPU. It is this model.

I have searched high and low, but cannot find a manual online... Anyhow, with a socket 7 or socket 5 CPU, I can probably figure out the jumper settings. So, anyone have one? Besides a k6-2 50 I have to trade, I have various joysticks and some cheaper Amiga custom chips to offer. I'm thinking maybe an Intel 200 might be best, but open to whatever you have.

I should mention passive cooling or with heatsink would help.

pentiums-3 (500+ mhz) are all socket 370, they will not fit or work in a socklet 5/7. socket 7 is backwards compatible with socket 5 - the difference is that socket 7 supports core voltage different that io voltage. socket 7 is used for 200+mhz pentium-1 type chips.

You are correct BTW about socket 7 and it being backwards compatible with socket 5. OTOH I am pretty certain Socket 7 is NOT forward compatible with Super 7 (K6-2).

PM sent!:)
