I need a 486 (no, seriously...stop laughing)

[deep]

I need an older 486 mobo, processor and RAM ASAP. If you have anything 100MHz and below (yes, BELOW.....stop snickering, you in the back) please drop me a line.

I just need the parts, but a complete system is fine.

Thanks.

[Sturmur]

Are you from the future? Do you need the 486 for some essential component that is direly needed in the future?

ygpm !!

i actually laughed...

Too bad Ive tossed out tons of EDO ram. With a decent mobo you could have built the ultimate gaming machine of 1993 :lol:

[axeman]

i have all the parts you need,pm me

No! He's going to take it back in time and sell it for thousands!

Ok ... I have :

1 x 486DX-50
1 x AMD Am486 DX-40
1 x AMD Am486 DX2-66

And some really old RAM sticks (30-pin ??)

You can have them for free ... You need to pick them up though.

[w4x]

I got

Intel 486 DX-33
AMD 486 Sx2-66 - maybe you can oc this one a lot
AMD 486 DX4-100 - this one for sure pwns the intel when oc :D

3x 16mb 72pins
8x 1mb 30pin

also got some ISA vga, modem, sound card if you need those too :)

If I remember correctly, 486 may need those VLBus cards ... and it also needs one of those multi-function controllers to boot from HD ....

There's a very similar thing in my random crap box back at home... But that one has a HEATSINK ON THE CPU... THAT'S RIGHT BEAT THAT...

[tim-x]

if you're that desperate i'll donate some pc parts....
all you have to do is ask my friend.
this is my favourite thread by the way.

Background story: my brother in-law has an IC machine that uses a custom communications card that cannot handle systems beyond 486s. Why? We don't know....but he's tested it with everything down to a Pentium 33 with no success, yet it has worked with the 2 486s he's used. Now the most recent one is dead.

Thanks very much for all your offers, by the way! I have asked him how soon he needs it (i.e. do I need to go pick one up today, or can I wait until the weekend) Depending on the timing, I'll start sending out PMs to try and arrange a pick up.

(Also, any offers near Hamilton, or between Hamilton and Sarnia would be greatly appreciated!!!!)

Thanks.

[hieppo]

Hi I have a couple of 486 machine.

You can have it all. Just come pick it up.

It is fully functional. I was using it as an LRP.

Hiep

PM me.

i see your heatsink and raise you the io cards and vga card ;)

I'd take pictures of my ISA network card!

but I'm 150 km away from it

[BlueMax]

I was going to say that VFXweb.com may have the VLB stuff you need. Some of the last-generation 486es used 72-pin RAM and PCI slots instead of 30-pin and VLB/EISA.

They even had 486es up to 133MHz! :) I owned a 120 myself... alllmost as good as the original Pentium 60.

[technote]

I know about this problem, as I used to work with T&D and CNC machines. One quick way to try and fix it is to make the 16 bit and 8 bit IO latency higher in the BIOS, ie, from 1 and 1 to 8 and 4 loops.

Give it a try... free anyway =)

I was searching some old threads, I found this. its not so old and I'm just curious, deep; did you get the system up/running again?

[NODES]

[CC2]

OMG....this is too funny. :cheesygri

[truong99]

Up for comp almost the same one my sister bought for $5000.00 :lol:

[Sharp]

I had so much older junk, I just threw it out. :lol:

[circa76]

hmm I got 4 sticks of 32MB EDO SIMMS if you're interested.

I also got a dual Pentium mobo with two P166 MMX procs, w/ HSF if you want a little more oomph! :D

[rabblerouser]

I wonder if there's a correlation between being a packrat and being a cheapskate
