I am attempting to more or less rebuild my 1996 DOS machine, which was based on an AMD 5x86 133 (running at 160) in an ASUS PVI-486SP3 motherboard. I will be using Tseng ET4000/W32p-based VLB video card, a Gravis Ultrasound (ISA), and a DPT SCSI card (ISA). I won't be using any PCI slots, and so I really don't need those on the hard to find 486SP3, though that is a great board with the great SIS chipset.
Given my lack of PCI need, I could go elsewhere for a VLB board that supports the AMD 5x86 133 at 160MHz. Is there a quality VLB/ISA-only board that is of equal or greater "performance," that I should consider?
Thanks.
(I have yet to figure out what I need to do to power the setup and what cases might work...)
