- On the 386 i'm not sure and on the 486-50 you did not mention if
- it was a DX or a DX2 but if it is a DX then you are more than likly
- running into a problem with the bus speed and causing your
- problems. You will need to slow the bus speed down in you BIOS setup
- as the current motherboard designs can not handle the 50 MHZ speed
- at the bus level reliably. The DX@'s dont have this problem
- because even a 66Mhz DX2 is only running the bus at 33Mhz.
- Hope that helps
