Possibly. Is the 386 socketed? If it's a surface mounted 386SX there were some clip-on 486 upgrade CPUs. If it's a socketed 386DX you can plug in a 486DLC/2 which is basically a 386 pin-compatable 486SX/2 that'll run twice as fast as the original 386. If the card also has a 387 FPU in a socket it could be upgraded with the double speed FPU that matches the 486DLC/2. Many 40Mhz 386 PCs got upgraded to 80Mhz 486 with the DLC/2 CPU and FPU. :) > --What is the highest Windows OS the OrangeMicro can > run? Depends on the max RAM possible and the software for the card. It should be able to run Windows For Workgroups 3.11, which would be the fastest since it has options for both 32bit disk and 32bit file access. It may run original Windows 95 if you can put at least 8megs RAM on the Orange card. > --Can the OrangeMicro successfully run Linux? No idea, it would be slow, unless you do a stripped down install without a GUI. > --Heck, is the OrangeMicro software even still > available somewhere? If it's a 200 series, there are DOS, Win 3.1x and Win95 drivers here. http://www.orangemicro.com/softwareupdates.html > --What is the highest MacOS that the IIfx can run? 7.6.1 It can run 8.1 using "Wish I Were" or another hack. ===== "Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger.
