Alan Hightower won an auction for a 20MHz Model 70, and imagine his utter chagrin when he found a BL2-66 Upgrade board inside. I would have sent it back, "not as described", but he was too passive aggressive, and he didn't complain... Anyways, thanks to Alan, we can be certain there is ONE 8570 upgrade board. It either has a LIF in U100 and a bare U110 [486DX board] or a BL2-66 soldered in U110 and a LIF socket in U100 [BL2-66 board]. Two Planar Upgrades Available
486BL2 66MHz, Option P/N32G3300 The IBM 486 BL2-66 includes an internal memory cache controller and 16KB memory cache. The clock speed operates at 66MHz for the internal operations and 33MHz for external operations. U100 5v 17x17 486 socket. Outline (and 19x19 array!) of a ZIF. POD hack? I have popped in a 486DX4-75 and it ran fine. The HMM calls this a "P23T Upgrade connectors"U110 Outline for two different flat packs. My guess- 486SLC or 486SX. J10 Power header for IDE drive ().

identifies source of 33MHz: 32 Bit Mode under W95 From Greg Frantz I finally got in front of one of the machines. Here is what I manually added to get the system working. Standard IDE/ESDI Hard Disk Controller (Change to
manual settings) This will enable the HDD in 32-bit mode
and has also allowed the use of a 4x Toshiba
CD-ROM. To get the floppy to work, install the
Standard Floppy Disk Controller after getting the HDD
working. The other thing to note is that the
floppy had to be a Sony for me to get it working. Video SVGA video up to 1024 x 768 pixels (1MB video memory standard) W95 Experiences |
