WTB 386sx/dx & 486dx MOBOs

If it is a 386 it has to have the Math Co processor installed.

If it is a 486 it has to have Award Bios.

willing to pay $25 per mobo you pay the shipping UPS or FedEx only. could use 5 or 6 of theses bad boys.

:shock:

I don't have any boards to offer you, but I'm curious what you're doing with them. :D

we have old CNC controllers that use them. They are Anorad IIISX's which wont run on anything newer than a 486 (not sure why, they just don't, or we are not smart enough). They require the Math Co-Processor and for some reason 486's with American Megatrend Bios wont work either. The other requirement i forgot to mention is they need at least 4 EISA slots without the CPU behind them (Our Cards are full length.) we would need either another EISA or PCI for the Graphics card, if they do not have an on board IDE then we would need another slot for that too.

So Ideally the Card would have:

*486DX33 or less (66's have given us trouble) again, if a 386, mobo has to have the co-processor.
*Award Bios if 486, if 386 AMI is fine.
*6 EISA slots (actually The last 4 can be ISA and the first two anything ISA, EISA or PCI.)

very interesting! i wish i still had my old boards, all i have left is an old 386sx laptop

I just happend to stumble on 4 2 386 and 2 486 boards if you your still looking

we are always looking Bro. do the 386's Have Co-Processors? I will call you monday when i get to work. I will PM you my phone number

I will check for you at work.

damn thrill, i had a 486 for the longest time, and a 386, both were ibm models. they gone now though....sorry man, you missed this by about a month.

It's okay WC, currently we are in good shape right now. but if anyone finds some that meets the above criteria, I will get you $25 per mobo. once I have 5 or 6 spares, we will probably stop looking.
