Slink works on a 486. I'm running it on two 486 DX2 at home. One with 8MB of
ram, which is too little, one with 20MB which is plenty.

Are you using a VLbus card with one of these built in? A something-or-other

If so what is the ide controller chipset? (other than hopeless)

If other, then I suspect your current hardware. Read the Sig11 faq.
