The Cyrix 486DLC implements the Intel 486 instruction set
completely and has a 1 Kbyte cache on chip. It has a 32-bit
bus interface and is in a package that is pin-compatible with
the Intel 386. The package is not pin-compatible with a
Intel 486DX or Intel 486SX.

The Intel 486SX implements the Intel 486 instruction set completely
and as an 8 Kbyte cache on chip. It also has a 32-bit bus interface
and is in the same package as a 486DX, which is not pin compatible
with a Cyrix 486DLC.

The Intel 486DX is a 486SX with a co-processor (487) on chip. It is
not pin-compatible with the Cyrix 486DLC, but is pin-compatible 
with the 486SX.

Performance of the Cyrix part is likely to be very close to the Intel
486SX or the 486DX if there are no floating-point operations.

Those are the facts straight from the data books....

Hmmmm, I thought it was the same package, but with a different pinout.

When did this happen?  Last I heard (admittedly, I haven't checked the
books) the SX part had the pinout rearranged so as to prevent people
from buying an SX machine and then replacing the SX with a DX part
instead of buying the '487' (electrically identical to DX part, but
different pinout) for 50% more money than a DX would cost if they
decided they needed a math coprocessor.

Organization: W. L. Kennedy Jr. & Associates
Distribution: na
Date: Thu, 8 Oct 1992 13:17:59 GMT

This is a good machine for someone who wants a reliable box to handle
some modems/terminals on an ethernet.  It's not for someone who wants a
fire breathing X engine.  The 32/450 has a 20MHz 68020, 68881 FPU, 16KB
cache, 8MB memory, 170MB SCSI disk, 150MB SCSI tape, eight serials and a
parallel (HPSIO-8), and two more serials on the CPU card.  It also has a
CMC ethernet card.  The I/O is MultiBus-II, three slots, occupied by
ethernet, hpsio, and SCSI.  It has a battery back up for recovery from
power failure without a reboot/fsck (really!).  I'll throw in a Televideo
TVI-955 console terminal if you don't have one that va (NCRs SA software)
likes.  I'm asking $4,500 FOB Austin, San Antonio, or meet half way else-
where in the state.

It's got NCR Vr3.1 with symlinks, development, on line man pages, troff
(not ditroff), and RFS (only works properly with other Towers).  I have
added the TCP+ bundle from Sea Change and NFS (all current releases).  All
manuals, schematics, original software distribution tapes, serial and
parallel cables.  It was the uucp gate keeper here for a couple of years
and only got retired when I needed to do serial IP (the TCP/IP package does
not support SL/IP or PPP).  It's eligible for NCR maintenance and was
checked out by NCR a couple of months ago.  It's no fire breather but it's
a fast enough and reliable work horse.  The resellers have quoted me $3,700
for the bare iron, so I think that the $2,500 in additional software is
worth $800 for someone who wants to just plug-n-play.  Email please.

looking to upgrade.  If you have a 286/386 system you would like to donate
or have a motherboard left over from a previous upgrade, they would 
sincerely appreciate a donation.  I'm pretty sure you can get a tax deduction
from the donation as well.  I currently don't have a phone number or contact

Oh, while I'm asking, they only have monochrome.  If you have a color monitor

This is true, however it is not a true 486.  It is at best an enhanced 386.
A 386-40 at $219 (Wallingford Electronics 452-1620) is a better deal.  This
is usint the AMD 386-40 chip... compatable yet better.

It is /very/ deceptive to claim it is 486.  Thats like calling a vw a
porche just because it burns the same gasoline and uses the same oil.  (not
to mention who designed the engine)

I do not claim that the 486-33DLC will beat the intel chip.
I am not trying to make intel look bad, i'm offering a cheaper alternative.

I wonder what your grudge against cyrix is.
Are you Intel employed perhaps?

These boards are meant to be a cheaper alternative to those
who do not want to shell out big bucks for an intel based 486dx.
They are fast, will support all software that would run on a i486-33
including software that requires the built in co-processor.
I do not claim they will outpower the i486. They will outprice it.
Besides, there is a satisfaction guarantee. So there is no risk.

  You seem quick to place the Intel part against the Cyrix clone (?) when
shown in a favorable light (ie MIPS test), but where is the i486/33's
benchmark from SYSINFO.EXE?  I don't know about others out there, but my
i486/33 gets a 72.+, not a 40.6 and that's at 33mhz, not 38 as shown above.

  I think that should more than illustrate what these boards (chips) are and
aren't.  I also think the seller should be reproached for his misleading
tactics in selling these.

  Don't pay for the price of a 486SX-25 when a 386DX-40 is faster and 
much cheaper! (Byte Magazine-June 1991) I am selling these boards for
220.00 +Tax and will meet or beat any ligitimate offer.  The boards will
fit in a mini or full tower and desktop cases.  I warranty these for one
year parts and labor!  Get them fast...while they last.  Complete systems
are also available, write for uubeleivable quotes.  This is not cheap
 equipment, just someone with no overhead to pass on to the consumer. Thanks.
