Hi all, my name is Mark, I’m new to here, interested in all things old but of course a little knowledge is a dangerous thing! I’m waiting for the system in the title to arrive, it’s a Type 8570 386DX, 6MB RAM. I’m wondering could anyone help me figure out if a Make IT 386 to 486 (dx slx2-50) would be compatible with it as an upgrade? Thanks in advance and sorry if I’m missing any info needed!

Not sure about the MakeIT, I only know these for 286 and 386SX.
However, you can just replace the 386DX with a 486DLC. No special adapter required.
Thanks so much for the quick reply. I’m willing to take a chance and buy it, just the guy has two versions of it, one is slightly smaller with a strip chip on top and the other is larger with no chip. Apologies for not being very helpful, I’m sort of at sea about it 😀 I will certainly check out a 486DLC

Picked up “80486, TX486DLC/E -33GA, 486DLC, Vintage CPU, 486 with 386 pinout, GOLD” for $20 on eBay just now, will that do as a backup in case my plan falls through? Thanks!
