You just need another AT style PSU, or buy an ATX to AT PSU cable instead.

I guess you responded from the first page. I have an ATX to at adapter already AND a complete AT case with power supply. I will even get a SECOND complete AT case soon.

I don't know if there are other games, but Battle Chess requires regular Windows 3.11 for digitized sound, not really an issue though, install both Windows versions.

I have another 486 on the shelf, waiting for my CF card to arrive. I will go 6.22 + Win 3.11 on that one.

Yeah, I know, I think I'll swap case, I have a real 486 era case in storage I have to go get.

BUT, this one allows me to use the built-in PS2 port AND it has a sliding back-plate.

That's one way, but what I was getting at is installing both on the same machine, you just give a different directory name.

Why not install 95? Its an all around better system and it can "Restart in MSDOS mode"
You can also install 3.1 and 95 side by side

I have a m919 ands not THAT bad. It has its quirks but its better then nothing as most PCI 486 boards are quite expensive. Mines running with the 256kb cache stick and a Cyrix 120mhz 5x86 and so far its been very stable. My board is a later revision though.
