Unfortunately, no, I didn't win. This the first time I have biffed an auction like this in my life 😵 I was at work and even though I had tracked it for 5 days I spaced it. I'm kicking myself really hard right now.

In my long on, then off, then on again, quest for a 386 I found this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270323130951 This is an Asus isa-386c motherboard. Does anybody know anything about this particular motherboard? 386's are a bit more ancient then …

I know that creative SB16's are notoriously noisy; I have used several of them and can attest to this. How about one of the first Vibra SB16's like the CT2800? It has a yamaha OPL chip and is much less noisy than other earlier SB16's.

Out of curiosity I bought one of these off of ebay for 8 dollars. I have been using a awe64 gold which of course doesn't have the real opl3 chip. Plugged it in last night and I was blown away. OPL3 music sounds so much better on this board be because of the real Yamaha chip. Granted I am a choir …

Thank you for the information. Does anybody know anything about 386 motherboards? What would be a good one for an AMD 386 DX/40? I know quite a bit about 486 motherboards, but 386 is a bit older than my knowledge goes. 😅

Wow, I'm jealous you have one of the rare 500 mhz III+ CPU's. I have a 450ACZ it overclocks to 550 really well. How high does the 500 mhz processor overclock?

Thrift shops, wonderful places to find AT cases. The one I am using now I found at a DI store in Salt Lake. It came with a turbo button and 200 Watt power supply. 😁
