I've had this Biostar 486 motherboard for a while, as you see it is ISA only but has a couple of unpopulated VLB slots:
By looking at some pictures in the web of this board (there are not many), I noticed that the versions that have VLB slots don't seem to have any noticeable difference with mine regarding what components are populated, so I guess none of them are needed for VLB support? Even the jumper for setting VLB wait states is there on my board.
So do you guys think it's worth a shot trying to scavenge some VLB slots from a dead board and transplant them into this one? Or maybe I'm missing some VLB specifics that would prevent this from working? A VLB board would be way more useful to me than an ISA only one!
