Hello
It's my new computer :
UNISYS CWD 5001
Intel Pentium 133 mhz with 16 mb and VGA Cirrus Logic GD5440 with 1Mb VRAM
A lot information here : http://www.win3x.org/win3board/viewtopic.php?t=20276
I will do a mini PC gaming MS-DOS, add a Sound blaster on slot ISA (max 18 cm long)
does the board offer 2nd-level cache?

Yes this does have cache installed. Amazing that small.
Cheers,

The hardest part for me was finding a sound card that will fit. Also the lack of CD options. There's no secondary IDE channel, unfortunately. I started looking for a way to move a small single-chip SCSI adapter to a new PCB that will fit down by the RAM and use one of the knockouts for a connector. Then the PSU started getting cranky, and some of the other OSes I wanted to run on it (aside from DOS/W95) would not, and so it's way back on the backest of burners for now.
I am using the 486 https://www.flickr.com/photos/94839221@N05/41 … 57683681646872/

I happen to own one. Does anyone know what this second button does. First one is power on/off. And the second is turbo maybe?

It's a reset button, isn't it?

Sorry to bump this thread, but I picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be worthwhile answering this question. The button you speak of is neither a turbo button or reset button. It's to put the machine into standby / sleep mode when you enable power management in the BIOS, else it does nothing.
I would love to buy such a unit, but it's very expensive. Buing from the US reseller cost me 250+USD.

I have a CD drive hooked up to mine I'll have to take some pics. I ran the cable and molex through the back. It's definitely possible I just connected it on the primary channel with the HDD.
