WTB: 486 Bridgeboard

[Jeff]

I had two of those. The Evergreen model 300 "Rev to 486" clipped on to the A2386 and ran at 75 mhz. It needed a dos driver to load the clock tripler at boot up as I remember. I sold that long ago.

I still have the Cyrix 486slc clip on somewhere that runs at 50 mhz. They both worked pretty well, however are dog slow by todays standards.

I would still love to have a working bridgeboard setup for my A3000T again. It it ideal for it with lots of Zorro and ISA slots.

Try AROS on it if you can and let us know how it runs. :-)

2. the 486slc/25mhz perfoms a little more than a 386DX/40mhz. it is a drop-in replacement for 386 chips, and it has some internal optimizing. the ideal would be a goldengate 486slc/50mhz  :-D  :-D

Do not mistake a 486slc for a 486dlc - the former interfaces to a 386SX bus (=16 bit) and can hardly compete with a 386DX25 (usually w/ L2 cache), let alone 40 MHz. read A real 486 is far beyond that.
