We can't control the wind, but we can adjust the sails. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to fate. On occasion I'm a putz. No DMs

Cyrix was always special. 1997 I did a brief warehouse stint as assembler and quality control of computers. The giant return pallet of Cyrix chips was quite sad.

Wondering still about evergreen 5x86 chips and if they’d work as same pinout as 486.

It was a good read. The 16bit isa were intriguing but no mention of any vesa bus which was the coolest tech of 486 days. Soundblaster mentioned as not reliably working as well which is disappointing but still fascinating build.

Toms hardware had a post about an fpga 486 build for doom and linux use that marries a newly made board with a 486dx2. Reminds me of that.

You already have a bunch. ICE was formed by patriot act as was DHS. Elect those that would repeal and disband. Largest issue is one side had spent decades eroding and ignoring those laws to take more power than they were elected to have. Time for outside help from ICC and The Hague.
