I randomly decided to go through all the 486 boards I have, 2 are the PCChips boards with either no/fake cache and the other is what I'm playing with now.
Motherboard: MB-4DUPM/E ver2
CPU: 486dx2 @66 (can't be sure it's not a 50, heatsink is on there for good)
Memory: 32MB 72pin
Video: ATI Mach64 PCI
Sound: Yamaha YMF-724 PCI
HD: 1GB Compactflash
OS: FreeDOS (modified kernel)
I'm not sure what to do with this, it's interesting to tinker with so I may end up making it a nice dos game pc since my 286 struggles with the old games I play.
The BIOS has a weird y2k bug where any date past 2000 automatically becomes 2094, I "fixed" this by editing/building the freedos kernel so the year is always returned as 2010.
I have a few questions though which I haven't had much finding info on:
1) Does a voodoo3 2000 work with the 3dfx version of GTA1?
2) Space not being a concern, what would be better storage? (Compactflash/IDE HDD/SCSI HDD (ISA Controller))
