Hi:
http://www.redhill.net.au/b/b-93.html
From the looks of all MoBo's on that site, the "UMC 386DX-40" is
probably the best for my vintage dream PC.
My vintage dream PC contains that MoBo along with the following:
1. OS: Windows 3.0 [not 3.0a, just 3.0]
2. Sound Card: SB16 ISA [all accessories -- such as speakers --
included]
3. Most advanced graphics/video card and PC monitor [screen] that
would still be compatible with Windows 3.0 and other softwares/
hardwares in my vintage dream PC
4. NDW [Norton Desktop for Windows] with Sleeper [screensaver] and
batchrun.exe -- "Norton Desktop (Utility Suite) for Windows 3.0", I
believe.
5. Canyon.mid [midi file often present with Windows OSes] -- Windows
3.0 version if the song specifically sounds different in 3.0
6. Window Entertainment Pack [including the Idlewild screensaver]
7. Creative Lab's SB16 FM MIDI kit
8. The CD-ROM disk that contains what's described in the following
link:

9. Three ISA-card modems for the following:
A. The 1st modem is to be used similar to a phone. Perhaps to talk
over the phone via the PC. It is the most advanced ISA telephone card
that would still be compatible with Windows 3.0 and other softwares/
hardwares in my vintage dream PC
B. The 2nd modem is for dial-up internet access and uses the most
advanced ISA dial-up modem that would still be compatible with Windows
3.0 and other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC
C. The 3rd modem uses the European Deaf Telephone [EDT] protocol and
can be used to communicate with the EDT devices in Switzerland. Of
course, I'm assuming this even exists for PCs. Most likely, there is
no EDT-compatible interface for PCs and even if they were, I doubt
they would work with Win 3.0. Hopefully, I'm wrong and EDT does work
with Win 3.0 and the PC hardware. Again, this should be the most
advanced ISA EDT modem that would still be compatible with Windows 3.0
and other softwares/hardwares in my vintage dream PC
10. The most advanced Netscape-based browser the would be compatible
with Win 3.0
11. "The Software Toolworks Multimedia Encyclopedia", Version 1.5,
Grolier, Inc. (1992)
All of the above should be fully-compatible with the UMC 386DX-40
motherboard.
Thanks
