This Evergreen 486 SuperChips 286 upgrade unit sold on eBay recently. I'm not the buyer, but I have an opportunity to obtain one for much less. I was wondering if anyone has the DIP switch settings for these?

EDIT: This thread continued here: Evergreen 486 SuperChip - settings for DIP switch?

Unfortunately Archive org only has Evergreen Technologies (of Corvallis) web site back to 2000 and by 2005 was basically gone.
Am sure you already checked but here is the oldest link. Wonder if they had a diff website name prior to 2000 ?
I could not find any info if they did....

The oldest website archive.org has for them is from late 1996. They were www.evertech.com. Unfortunately, they don't list any upgrades for 286's.

Thanks, Yeah seems you did mention that before, and my bad memory forgot... Their reliance on ftp server and BBS for any docs and utils is a bad thing 🙁

added: I did manage to find some of the Utils they mention on some of the archived pages, like 586 diag disk: ETDIAG15.EXE, Installation Disk for IBM-based 286 and 386 processor upgrades: ET9610.EXE,
Installation Disk for Cyrix-based 5x86 processor upgrades: ET9603.EXE, Installation Disk for Texas Instruments-based 286 and 386 processor upgrades: ET9608.EXE and the
Evergreen Technologies Diagnostic Disk: ETDGV200.EXE (will upload them to Vogons as soon as I find a little more documentation)
but no manuals other than the same one for 486-586 upgrade that is already in in Vogons Driver library.
