I guess it would be funny how much we already have spent, and bought on vintage computer parts..like ebay and so on, especially your collection of motherboard.
Its nice if you could post some pictures of it, but that wouldnt be required. But if you want to, then you can do that.
Lets getting started.. I would be nicer if we post on the same category..
Lets started on 486 motherboards..
This is what i have got now.
Freetech 486F38 cpu auto voltage with Rev G bios (support till AMD 5x86 P75, and no y2K anymore)
QDI V4P895P3 / SMT V4.0 (wrote a new bios from the SMT 5.0 board)(now support till AMD 5x86 P75)(the older bios didnt work on the board, board didnt go on, so was dead on the bios rom)
QDI V4P895P3 / SMT V5.0 (support till AMD 5x86 P75)
ADI TK8498F/GP 4N D24 (only 5V processors for now, tested with an voltage interposer board till AMD 486 DX4 - 100Mhz) Iam working on it to support more voltages.
Chicony CH-471B REV 1.0 (missing the VR part, hope i can fix it with the knowledge of the other board i bought. Also hope i can use the bios)
Chicony CH-471B REV 2.0 (the board that is listed on the upper side) Does have the VRM part and maybe a later bios version the seller says it could do till 8.4GB drives, so i guess its the right bios that would solve any Y2K bugs, and i guess it would have better cpu code support (i hope it will do AMD 5x86 P75 ones too)
Chaintech 486 SLD motherboard - Now it would do only 5volt processors, bios is junk as well. So need to fix this board too.
Chaintech 486 SLD /SLP (have VR onboard and supports 5,4, 3.3 volt processors) Got the same problem that the bios is junk
Chaintech 486 SLE (Without an VR onboard, have the same circuit as 486SLD, board not tested yet. I hope i can use this bios for the other two chaintech boards and get rid off 2YK bug..
Abit 486 AH-4T VLB socket 3 motherboard
~ At least it can do black and white~
