Nice find! That's only the second time I have seen that part number (and I have no record of where I saw the first one - I only know I have it listed on my site!). I believe 33MHz is the only speed to have the U5SF marking.

http://datasheets.chipdb.org/UMC/U5S.txt shows that this is a valid part number for a UMC 486SX-33 in PQFP. I have not seen any original UMC documentation for the 486, so cannot confirm (and can only test one if I ever get one on an adaptor).

Those results make sense (at least, to me they do!).

U5S and U486SX are two different naming conventions for the same processor group (and same set of CPUID). F is the package, so will not show on a test.

I guess I really should get my act together, and start upgrading the software, to give a more user friendly interface, among other things Smile
