      From: stefan.lemanski@gmail.com              Guess there was only one CPU made for this - the DX50. On my old 486/VLB setup       I always had problems even with 40MHz/VLB using more than just the graphics       adapter. On a 3-slot VLB Board you had one busmastering and accordingly 2       secondary slots you had        to address using more than one card, especially with a SCSI/IO-Cards. With all       three VLB slots filled, it was some kind of a gamble if the system was stable,       even with 40MHz :-/ VLB was very card-dependant.              Tomas Slavotinek schrieb am Donnerstag, 20.
