I was just wondering what you plan on doing with the 486. Do you need support for large IDE drives on the ISA card with onboard BIOS? Will you need a card highly rated for floppy disk imaging? I may have a pretty basic generic IDE/Floppy controller - it just won't have any bells and whistles.

Ah sorry I meant to remove this post. I ordered a controller from ebay, it hasn't arrived yet so there's always a chance it won't work.
I need it to support a 1.44mb floppy drive and the hdd I have lying around that I plan to use is 80gb but I'll probably just have a single 2gb partition (or however big a partition I can make)
And also a cdrom as a slave drive.
