- I think you may be able to add a rev-to-486 board, but you would need to get a
- ribbon cable for the top connector on the "piggy-back" board (from Digi-Key)
- and bend the board down. I was thinking about doing this, except that the
- rev-to-486 board is $195. I bought a 486Dx2-80 w/VLB & Cache motherboard for
- $108 instead.
