I wonder if that was the fastest ever 486? As far as I recall it was an AMD 486 as Intel did not offer a DX4-100? But my memory is weak on that subject.
Actually Intel did offer a DX4-100:

I really need to get back to working on a 386/486 level DOS machine. It's getting to be a long, long time since I've worked with one. Grown far too dependent on cellphones and WinXP/Win7 machines. ... |

Hmmm, interesting. Any memory-management utility (akin to MEMMAKER for MS-DOS) included for 286/386 systems? |

Just curious...where did you get this? Everything I see on Dillo's site looks to be *nix versions (.tar.bz files). Also curious if it could somehow be ran from DOSBox...(since I seldom find myself f ... |

Glad to hear you are ok.
Guess "OK" is a relative term. At 61 years-old, the arthritis and other issues are still "manageable"; trying to work until I'm 70 will be challenging ... |

Not to worry. I'm still here. Just been very busy at work. As you see, it's pretty dead here. Spending more time over at VCF and really not doing much with my own vintage stuff. |

Would be tempted to run it natively on an X86 machine. Anywhere on the web that describes the last version to run on x86 (not x64) hardware? Last version I can find is Solaris 10. Would love to fin ... |

Hmmm, that site looks very similar to minus zero degrees (which I know to be legit). I'd be somewhat cautious about any downloads from there...
