Onboard FDD/HDD controller didn't happen untill the tail end of the 486 era, so NO
The board has 8 and 16 Bit ISA slots, VLB was in the 486 era, so NO
The CPU is soldered onto the motherboard, Worked last time I tested it, so YES.
I also have a trident ISA video card, mpst likely a ISA HD/floppy controller too.
The unit takes 4 30-pin memory modules.
You would need a case, floppy, hd, keyboard, and serial mouse
The Right HardStuff
There were some exotic 486 boards that has 386 chips built into them so people could expand to a 486 when prices were reasonable. Those boards ended up using 486 chips before they were discarded and would be sold as 486 motherboards.Tombstone wrote:I've seen 386 compatible mainboards with one or both of these features, that's why I asked.Unknown_K wrote:Onboard FDD/HDD controller didn't happen untill the tail end of the 486 era, so NO
