I am building a low-end SS7 machine. It will be my first pure DOS6.2 machine (why not). I would like it to scale from 386SX through to at least P100 speeds.
I have a few old S7 Pentiums lying around: P100, 133, 166MMX.
I originally thought I needed a K6-3+ as only it allowed the multiplier to be changed with setmul (apart from C3 on s370).
But then I read that setmul does in fact have options and switches to control the mult on at least some s7 pentiums, maybe all of them.
Is it worth shelling out for a K6-3+? It will allow me to reach higher top speeds (maybe up to 400mhz), but not sure it it can scale down quite as far.
Thoughts?
