- for a 16550:
- many computer stores will carry this, so call a few places.
-
- But if you want a reputable source that will have them:
- try Electrosonic or Hamilton-Avnetjust to name a couple of electronics
- places; even Active Components should have them.
-
- I'm not sure how common a 486 heat sink is (are they mass produced, or are
- they minor leauge: only a few thousand at a time?)
-
- As long as it fits the PGA style package of the 486, then it will do.
- (How they keep it from falling off, I don't know.)
-
- Do you *need* a heat sink? The 486, 386 etc are in a big ceramic PGA package
- that's designed to dissipate that kind of heat, as long as you have enough
- air cooling. If you have problems you think are heat related, maybe something's
- blocking the air flow in your computer, like a card. If you use rated clock
- speed, cooling etc. you don't need a heat sink.
