Has anyone ever used a board like this one before?
I pulled this one out of a scrap bin about 10 years ago, but I never really used it because I was never able to disable the onboard CPU. I've since sliced the CPU off, and it is now properly detecting the TI CPU shown in the photo.
This board is pretty crazy. The AMI BIOS date is 04/04/93. That's later than the majority of VL 486 boards I have. It's really compact, and uses a 486 ALi chipset, the A1429/A1431. The BIOS natively supports writeback cache! If memory serves me right, this board supports up to 128mb in 30pin SIMM too.
I currently use a 386 board with opti 495SX chipset. Would it be worth my time to switch to a board with ALi?[/url]
