What is your BX board? In particular, how low can it's CPU VRMs go? It might be usable for a very flexible slowdown machine based on a C3 chip.

I'm just waiting for a slocket to arrive, then I'll be able to compare an Ezra chip with my socket 7/PMMX slowdown machine that uses TR12 registers.

That would be awesome! Got everything I need for a C3 rig, except for the CPU. Been looking for a 900MHz Ezra for some time, but haven't even seen one for sale yet. Guess the price tag could be quite hefty once I find one. A comparison like that could help in deciding if it's worth it, or if I just should settle with some more common slower model 😀
