That's a great system you got there. I really love that case great job on taming the ribbon cables.

I was given a bucket of ram, and i couldn't help myself

Nice! If you got the ram you might as well use it and have fun.

Now a 3,3V Socket and a AM5x86 and you have born a Beast!

nah if i go that fast why not just use my Pentium, i do want a DX2 66 but thats as fast as i want to make it

That's a good era. For me the quintessential 486 is the DX2 66. It just brings me back to my early childhood such good times.

First off my normal naming scheme is The86 on all my machines

I present my 486, I'm holding off on the 386SX until I get a ram board for it.

Spec's
SOYO 025D2
I486 DX 33
8MB 30PIN SIMM
Goldstar ISA Controller
Trident 8900C (looking for VLB)
Soundblaster 32 /w 2mb ram
Intel Etherexpress II 10mbs
Maxtor 6.3gb Hard Drive
Plextor DVD-ROM (only white or grey drive I have that works)
3.5in 1.44mb Floppy
5.25 1.2mb Floppy
Dos 6.22 and Windows 3.1

Ide and molex hanging out because I can't get my cf adapter to work, it doesn't like the drive, and I can't write disks as my other floppy drives are bad, so I'm leaving the HDD as able to quick disconnect until I can figure out networking.

That's the case where I have my Pentium MMX 166!, my DX2 66 is in another one. Just realized that I need to replace the battery on the 486DX2

my VLB video card came in today

Nice! How's the system coming along?

It's a real humdinger if I say so. I was even browsing the internet from it.

Excellent! Glad to hear that

So here are final specs once the final parts arrive

Trident PM-V513 1MB VGA card
DTC2278E VLB I/O Controller (USPS in transit)
SOYO 025D2 motherboard
It's ST 486 DX-2 80 (in transit) (will run as a 66 if I have issues with the system at 40mhz)
4x16mb 30 pin SIMM (in transit)
3Com Etherlink III (in transit)
6.3gb hdd using ontack
Gotek
5.25 floppy
Dos 6.22 + Windows 3.11WFW
SB 16 SCSI The Sb32 is broken, checked on 98se on my p2 rig and it won't start the midi interface may troubleshoot later.

Anything I'm missing to complete the experience
