I promised something very good and I will deliver on that promise.

Guess a number between 100 and 333 (the stock speeds at which Socket 8 has run from the lowest engineering samples to the highest Pentium II Overdrives)*
*according to this site: http://www.cpu-world.com/cgi-bin/CPUID.pl?MAN … Y=Pentium%20Pro

Only Vogons members with 100 posts or more can enter. This is for members who have been here awhile (sorry newcomers). I only cover shipping for U.S. addresses. Everyone else pays for their own shipping.

You can guess every 10 minutes.

The prize:

NOS ALR dual Socket 8 server grade motherboard (this thing is big and will require a large ATX case)
NOS matching I/O backplate
NOS Pentium Pro 200MHz 1MB cache CPU x2
NOS ALR server grade HSF with VRMs and wire kit x2
NOS 256MB EDO RAM (32MB x 8 )

This should set someone up and running with the ultimate dual Socket 8 build. The barrel battery has been clipped from the board and accepts an external battery.

Check out DOSBox Distro:

a lightweight Linux distro (tinycore) which boots off a usb flash drive and goes straight to DOSBox.

I just wanted to chime in, these are mostly standard ATX. The only cavat is the slight odd size. However all the holes are in standard locations, it takes a standard atx power.

The extra power connector can be modified from a standard power supply as it is the same setup as the Athlon extra power connector. 2x 5v, 1x 3.3v, 3x ground.

It would be a simple task to make your own adapter.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
