Were any of the Intel Overdrive DX4-100's ever produced in write-back mode? I know the non-overdrive chips came in write-back and write-through modes, but I'm not sure about the overdrive counterparts. If there were production units, what is the S-spec? If not, were there write-back engineering samples? Thanks.

Note: I originally posted this in the Modern Chip discussion section, but after weeks of no replies, I have deleted that post and moved it here. This Information Request section is more appropriate for this type of question.

what would be the sense of this mode in a processor intended for upgrading old systems, usually not supporting the writeback feature? the chipset also needs to support it

From your response, it sounds like you doubt there to be such a chip in WB mode. Does anyone have any documented information confirming the existence, or lack there of, for a WB Intel DX4 overdrive? I can think of a few reasons why such an overdrive may have been produced, however I do not wish to get into a speculative discussion.
