Ok, due to constantly arising (off-)topic for PCChips fake cache motherboards, I'm opening this thread. A list with motherboards models and revisions with (possibly) fake cache chips with categories from worst to best cases according to the possibilities for adding real cache:
DCA sticker, cache upgrade is impossible:
1. Octek HIPPO DCA 1 rev. 1.x (claims DCA(1) support, seems like it can't use special EDRAM modules (fast DRAM with some tiny amount of SRAM cache))
2. Octek HIPPO VL (claims DCA(1) support, seems like it can't use EDRAM modules)
3. Octek HIPPO VL+ (claims DCA(1) support, seems like it can't use EDRAM modules)
Upgradable with EDRAM module:
1. Digicom DIGIS-486EL (probably it can use EDRAM modules)
2. Octek HIPPO DCA II (claims DCA2 support, possibly it can use EDRAM modules)
Fake cache chips, upgradable with proprietary COASt module:
1. PCChips/Hsin Tech M507 (has proprietary COASt module slot)
2. PCChips/Hsin Tech M919 ver. 2, ver. 3.2, ver. 3.3 and ver. 3.4 (ver. 1.x is with real cache, all fake cache chips revisions have proprietary COASt module slot)
Fake cache chips, upgradable with real SRAM chips:
1. Amaquest/Anson/Ansoon Technology Co. AP8548
2. Amptron DX-9300A ver. 1.1
3. BEK-tronic BEK-V429S
4. EPoX/ProNiX GXA486SG rev. 0.0
5. Full Yes SIS 486G 3.3/5V rev. G/H
6. Kaimei SA-486 VL-BUS M.B. rev. V2C
7. PCChips/Hsin Tech M912 ver. 1.7, ver. 1.9, ver. 6.0 and ver. 6.1 (ver. 1.4 is with real cache)
8. PCChips/Hsin Tech M915i
9. PCChips/Hsin Tech M918
10. PCChips/Hsin Tech M921
11. Rectron RT-4s3
12. U-Board ST1A-JK-042E rev. B
13. (Unknown brand) PCI486 V1-HJ2
Unnecessary fake cache chips as L2 cache is integrated into CPU: (non-existing motherboard with deliberately written fake article, shame on TRW)
00. PCChips/Hsin Tech M666
I'm waiting for your suggestions with links, pictures, descriptions, etc. I'll keep the list in the post updated.
