Hi all...
So I have this 486 machine, with an AMD 486dx4-120 mhz CPU (no, not a 100mhz overclocked chip) and I am in the process of buying parts in order to rebuild the machine as a completely new one. As of now, the parts used in it, are listed below.
- FIC 486-VIP-IO motherboard
- AMD 486dx4-120
- 32mb FPM Ram
- S3 Trio64v+
- Audicion32
- DreamBlaster-S1
- The usual stuff, like HDD, CD-Rom and Floippy
For the job of restructuring or rebuilding my machine, then I have bought an VLB SCSI controller wich is an Bus Logic of some sort, and I have lots of SCSI CD-Rom drives and I have an Seagate 1GB SCSI harddrive.
For the GFX/Video card, I can go with the Trio64 that are currently in it, though the VIP-IO board have a weak PCI performance, and I suspect that I need to find a VLB card of some sort. Wich one is the question, if I need to find a VLB card.
Then I have the following PCI cards on hand, that might be an option instead of buying a VLB card.
- ET4000-W32 PCI
- S3 Virge 325 (Number Nine branded)
- Cirrus Logic CL-5446
The rest will be the same. Memory, case, CPU and so on. Any suggestions on what I might do with this machine?
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....
