REV TO SMP
Dual DX2 or DX4 SMP upgrade for single socket 486 boards.
interesting product.
Existed?
How can worked? Could two 486 CPUs use one bus?

This was probably for those running Windows NT or something more exotic os wise, interesting and would be a gem to have in any collection.

I think this one may have been vapourware. It's been discussed here before.

Guys, you know what my ever dream is? (speaking of Evergreen, since, it seems to me now that if my dream ever were to come true it would have been made by Evergreen)
A similar board (under-CPU above-socket) with a chipset and two "magic connectors". What would those magic connectors be? two Vesa Local Bus slot (maybe even with extension cable) to allow ISA-only 486s (and maybe even 386? I'm dreaming!!!) to install a VLB SVGA and a VLB EIDE controller! You can imagine the rest!!!! (like drooling on the mobo). 🤣

HATA Toshiro reported on Japanese magazine "PC WAVE" that "REV TO SMP" was displayed in COMDEX 1994 Fall.
REV TO SMP has 256KB L2 cache per a CPU. Windows NT and OS/2 can runs on it. He could not see actual demonstration nor know actual performance. And he guess the motherboard don't have enough space for it.

I never heard of that before. I honestly would have guessed that it was an April Fools joke.
