another pic with friendtech on it? 😕

There aren't enough pins for it to even fit in socket 5/7 motherboards. It looks more like socket 1 by the number of pins.

It's probably for putting later 486 era CPU's into early 486 motherboards.

Yeah, it's just your basic voltage converter, allows the use of 3.3V 486 (and 5x86) chips in 5V-only motherboards. Handy thing to have around if you play with 486s much.

Yep looks like a 486 voltage adapter to me.

If you have no use for it PM me and I will buy it off you 😀 I've been looking for one of these for a while but they're prety hard to find here in Aus.
