   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.
