Way before CPU galaxy's video was this link detailing the DLC/SXL settings, Register settings for various CPUs It goes into much more detail.
Mine also refused to work with a 16 Mhz FSB when I first tested it. Either the system didn't like the 3-chip memory I had installed, or somehow the presence of the FPU allowed it to 16 MHz FSB. When I first tested it, 12.5 MHz was max. Not any longer.
Yeah, it looks like aliexpress has the 87SLC-33QP chips for $10. I'm not sure if they are fake. I'll report back when mine arrives. I plan on doing more testing with the -v25 I have on there now, but upon initial tests, the surface isn't getting hot. It was only $5, so not much loss to replace it.
According to Anonymous Coward, the non -v and non-g50 SXL2-40's should also be 5 V, so I might try this as well. Also, the SLC2-25/50 should be 5 V and might be worth testing. According to Anonymous Coward, they are locked in clock doubled mode. Cheapest I could find is $57 each from China. Not sure if they are authentic or not. Best would be a desolder, but I couldn't find any.
I've given up on the 286 no floppy boot issue. I plan to use the SuperChip anyway. I have an LS-120 BIOS I might try on a Lo-Tech card, but my LS-120 is sitting at AVICC, so cannot test it yet. But this might allow for 286 booting on the floppy.
Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.
