Recently my boss gave me an old machine (not that I need any more) to tinker with. Told him I could likely get it on our network at work (i.e.--running Win2K/XP) It's an older POS (point-of-sale) unit with a Intel 486DX4-100, a 1GB HDD and a single 3.5" FDD. It has a Flytech A47 MoBo which (after hunting around for a partial manual) doesn't mention support for a POD63/83 CPU. It will accept 64MB of 72-pin FPM RAM, so there's enough for "half-decent" support of an nLited version of Win2K. But Win2K requires at least a Pentium CPU (as best as I can find out on the net). So here's the question: anyone have any experience with "forcing" a POD upgrade on a MoBo or have success getting Win2K installed on a 486 (without the "drive-swap" trick)?
