Anyone got experience with this board. Looks like its DA DEAL

That's a really interesting board. It looks like it has pipeline burst style cache like a pentium machine - would make a great POD5V or Cx5x86 rig. It even has a COAST socket for additional cache. Does it have PS/2 ?
Well its got the 72 pin modules. Isa-VESA slots, an SRAM slot, IDE connectors and solid cache. Supports up to 133Mhz.
Am going to use it as a 5x86 mahine eather a Cyrix 5x86 100P or a AMD 5x86 p75
Stocked with the find.
If found the data > http://arquet.free.fr/data/DOC.php3?cible=m919v3
a m919 -.- i totally didn't notice the cache was fake;
Yeah, amptron = PCChips = fake cache. If you want to have cache on these, you need to buy a specific COAST module that will only work with these. Don't use any other kind of COAST module or you'll toast your board or the COAST module or both

Just ordered one 😀.
Hello,
I fear that this cache module isn't the right one.
At best it won't work, worse it might fry your board.
This board needs a specific module, follow this link (Cache Module CA256K FOR 486 M919 USE ONLY)
Yeah, that coast module is exactly the kind of module that will die and/or kill your mobo once inserted

I also bought this module
Just cause im curious why would it fry my board? States it supports up to 1024 cache.
Is it a Ns speed thing?
A speed issue would never fry a board to my knowledge. I believe that's because even though they use the same connector, the pinout is different
