Long time lurker; first time poster and friend of garagemadlad. TBH I honestly didn't think he was gonna make an account; I feel like I'm more hyped about his machine than he is! hehe.

Any luck with the TI TI486SXL2-G66-GA in the T5200, or any challenges to be aware of? Any ways to get some more clock speed? It seems like the cache + 486 will help much more with emulation; but might leave some SNES emulators wanting.

There is also this thread for a PGA168 to PGA132 custom interposer
Custom interposer module for TI486SXL2-66 PGA168 to PGA132 - HELP!

Has anyone used this interposer with any further, even more LUDICROUS SPEED CPU upgrades in their T5200s?!

So I guess I shall be going over there to ask there about it working with PGA-168 CPUs like: 5x86 chips from AMD, Cyrix, Cyrix 6x86 (M1), IBM/Cyrix 6x86L, Pentium Overdrive

Following this with great interest. I went with the CX486DRx2 upgrade and it made some significant change to performance, but I would be all ears in learning if anyone went "hyper-speed" with a 2/66 unit with a custom PCB 😀

After a 2.5 month hiatus due to hospitalizations and such I’m finally venturing back into the world outside my immediate survival needs.

I do want to follow up with @garagemadlad to see what sort of upgrades (especially CPU) he has done and go from there.

Someone interested in 2MB and 8MB 40pin SIMM memory kits? Nothing is ready yet. Just scouting before I make any PWB & chip orders because these are not cheap. Also have to repair my test bench first, no RAMs without it.

fool - Do you still have any 40 pin SIMM boards or kits?

Also wanted to mentioned I saw a new batch of 3inONEder's are available https://conventionalmemories.com/wiki_cm/3inO … shiba_portables

I should have two sets, but those are development phase boards and visually not very good. I designed new version, but yet build any. I would build some just for fun, but these memory chips are quite pricey. Let see, maybe I will get some inspiration 😀

Hey I have T3200SX and I replaced the BIOS with modded Award /639K with xtide. During boot XTIDE detects 40mb conner at 1f0 but then doesnt boot from it and tries to boot from floppy only. When I booted dos 6.22 from floppy fdisk says no fixed drive detected.
Any ideas?
