 G'day Ian, I wonder if you aquired this board from Chris Goh? If so it is

 a working board as I had all the boards he had to check them out. I don't

 have a book on them but am running one in my computer. I bought a stuffed

 486 board with no cpu to get the cache for mine. The extra socket is for

 a cahce ram parity chip. They are really easy to setup, and mine has been 

 working fine since I installed it. The board will run at 60mhz landmark 

 with cache ram( even 64k) and at a lowly 27mhz with no cache.ie, better 

 find some cache if you want it to perform! My old sx25 was faster than

 the dx40 without cache. If I can be of more help let me know, and if I

 wasn't any help, wellll??



 Doug.
