As usual, you know your stuff. :-)
I have collected motherboards for many years, probably since about '95. I
have all that you mention above, and even bought quite a few of the 486
PCI/ISA/VESA boards new. They worked very well. Still have some.
But years ago, when I found a Socket 4 Pentium 60 ISA/VESA board, I would
have bet money that they didn't exist. I found a brand new one actually a
couple of years ago.
Then I found a Socket 5 Pentium ISA/VESA board ! Really weird.
I never saw a PB VESA computer, but wondered if they existed.
Thanks
bob
