I recently sent the desing guide for this board to the maintainer of the
"gatekeeper" ftp
site. This guide lists partnumbers and manufacturers for almost everything,
including cache chips.
I actually found cache chips for this motherboard for 1 Mb of cache, I
thought,
but it turned out that these chips were to narrow to fit the right sockets.
I still have to try to bend the pins to fit the wider sockets , but I lent
the machine
to a friend , and I haven't got the chance to try it now.
