I'll take it. Just need to buy some sockets for the cache (and a VLB io card) _________________ My graphics card database can be found at http://www.gpuzoo.com.

You might want to buy some headers as well. The higher cache sizes probably has some soldered shut jumper pads.
Might as well buy a DIP-20 keyboard controller socket as well. As this board has an AWARD BIOS, it is probably fairly straight forward to get native PS/2 mouse support on it.
Good price. _________________ The only thing I hate more than straightening CPU pins is having CPU's with bent pins in my collection. |

The cache and BIOS chips are all soldered. The board is also missing a VRM, 14MHz oscillator and all jumpers. _________________ My Active Sales |

That is curious about the missing oscillator. Perhaps the CLKGEN IC has some built-in reference clk that it is using? I'm guessing that the VIA DIP-14 on the top centre is the CLKGEN. _________________ The only thing I hate more than straightening CPU pins is having CPU's with bent pins in my collection. |

That's a VIA VT8235N. It takes a standard 14.318MHz input.The VRM is an LDO of LT1085 style. _________________ My Active Sales |
