Ive tested it in the past, it booted but I have no use for it. I was gonna chuck it. trying to sell it on ebay is not worth my time.

I found an October 1997 issue of Byte with an in-depth preview of the C6's architecture.

Some of those evergreen interposers would be neat to add to ss7 cpus for controlling multi on older mobos.

Then you might as well just donate it to someone who is willing to do some testing with it, if only for historical reasons.

I'm looking at those cut pins. looks like they cut bf0,1,2 is that right? bf1 looks like it is pulled low to vss

I wasn't aware that winchip made use of BF2

can anyone speak to or experiment with one of those chips to discover the range of supported multipliers?
