Hi! i know this is unrelated and not productive post... but im soo happy

I went to argentina to have some holidays to my childhood house, more than 20 years i did not went!!! well, when i was kid, after commodore 64 and ZX i had a XT computer my father bring home, after this i buy my first personal computer, a 286 16mhz, i was super happy until 93 first 94 that i decide to upgrade to a 386 computer, I went t a computer shop near my house and I went out with a Cyrix 486DLC 33mhz! love this computer, without turbo was EXACTLY the speed of my old 286 16mhz, then i did not miss the 286 and without L1 and L2 the speed was similar to my 286 without turbo! amazing board, and very fast, remember having amazing times with doom and doom 2, etc

Well, i think this board was sell or missing dont know, but i found it in a lost box in a deposit my father have for tools!!! i cried

thanks, im so happy, i believe i will never see this board again, and worst, i did not remember the model to buy again, like happen to my 286, i cant remember what board was

Im just begining to build, is amazing, still have guarantee seals jeje, maybe i can ask for a refund 😀 remember the 387 was soo expensive, but back on time i work on audocard R10 and i used a lot

Wow, it looks like it is in amazing condition! Did the board suffer any battery corrosion damage after all those years? That 486DLC is just so clean and and nice looking...

I'm happy for you! Enjoy the build! 😁

Wow, that was some amazing forethought! If everyone had done that when they retired their 286, 386 and 486 systems there would probably be millions more of those old boards still working today.

Fun story man I enjoyed it! Makes me miss my own first PC I bought back in the day..

It will be good to upload photo of this motherboard to theretroweb (an BIOS image).

I was "lucky" back on time, because i already had problems with batteries leakage in a old radio, and then i was aware of the problem. Since then i always remove battery when store motherboards and other electronic stuff
