Crazy how much these things are worth from a collectors perspective; I couldn't wait to throw out all my K6 and Cyrix processors once the Athlon and Tualatins came out
Bingo. I have one of these, non sample, paid $10.In fairness, this is a sample chip. I can't imagine a regular production IBM 6x86 would be worth nearly that much.
I wish. Can't afford the mobo and memory!Daily driver system?

Aha! I was just joking. I have a Super Socket 7 board that accepts like 40000000 chips.
Yeah. Supports both EDO and DIMM memory as well. Only issue? No serial port! I run a card for it.That's super evil, mate!!
So it's all functional?

Don't get me wrong, any sample processor is cool! Mine isn't a sample, that's allCPU Galaxy (YouTuber) suggests it's rare

I just found out they are made by Zida, and I also found the manual online for it.I also have one of those socket 7 tomato boards also, never could find much info about the board
Turns out my Asus board in that case has an L2 expansion slot. Never seen one before. I was kinda wondering why a brown slot was over there, as I knew it couldn't be an AGP spot.I have a third SS7 board somewhere. A Tyan, but who knows where it could be. Was in a tower, but I can't find the tower. Weird!
The first picture here says "Tomato Board" on the bottom, whatever that means lol

If I get around to using my computer later, I will post the link here that I used.Awesome, Ill have to check that info out. The one I have had a cpu but was missing all the jumpers on the board, and I never fired it up due to not wanting to mess up the cpu or the board. At least I will be able to get the jumpers set correctly, and maybe get it firred up after it sat for the almost 20 years Ive had it.

The link that says "Download PDF" is actually for the motherboard manual. My 5DHX was there, but not all are.
Damn! My board is the first on their list and only supports pentium/and/cyrix up to 166mhz!Damn, I am so happy now, I finally know what this board is now I have the T530B-S...damn looking through the manual, it looks like this board also supports K6-3 and up to 1.5g of memory too. Looks like this is going to be an awesome board. I really owe you one for finding this for me.
