I'm going to try to get somebody locally who has upgraded to a DX2/66 to sell me their DX/33 part. Can anybody tell me which revisions to avoid (and how to identify them). I remember some of the early 486's had bugs and chip bugs are the last thing I need with my unix system. Thanks Rick Dante rdante@sdcc13.ucsd.edu
