  • Also I have a realy rare oem model 486 model 80

    From richard smice@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 12 13:52:16 2022
    It was given to my father a renound PHD chemist at ibm
    with very many patents for ibm

    for work there...

    It was basically a model 80 souped up to perform better


    It had the ibm 486 logo on it...

    I think that it was Austrailian upgrade
    It was so very much faster than a normal computer
    It had a v64 modem... back then

    If it does have a 486 logo, it might be a planar upgrade or the Blue Lightning...

    What is the type-model?

    Some feelthy-feely pictures would help... Pop the side wall. We can see
    real fast if it's a Reply planar or something like the Hyperrace... Low possumbility that it is something really esoteric, but empirical
    evidence wins the day...

    v64? doesn't ring a bell. Pic of the adapter?

    Yeah, Hyperrace or some similar CPU upgrade probably. Or one of the Reply planars perhaps?

    Again, a picture is worth a thousand words...
