assistant: I have a couple.  How bout a 486/DX33.  This board has 7 16 bit slots and 8
30 pin memory slots.  BOTH boards have 256k caceh.  I'll let this one go for
$40 shipped to your door, priority mail.  Second one is an SX33 with 8 16 bit
slots and 8 30 pin memory slots.  As stated, it has 256k cache.  $35 shipped
same way for this one.  These are both guaranteed not to be dead on arrival.
I don't have the manuals, but you really won't need one, as you are getting
the processor with it and nothing needs to be changed.  Also, if you want to
add either a Trident 1 meg video card OR an Oak 1 meg video card, add $15.
Not a bad price for a reliable board.  Let me know if you are interested, as
I only have these 2 left and they are going pretty quick.
