Motherboard:

486VL3H (c) 199? Edom

The 486VL3H was designed to offer maximum flexibility for users who were caught in the middle of the bus transition. It is one of the more complex boards in your collection because it often featured "dual-bus" implementations, allowing for both high-speed local bus graphics and the emerging PCI standard. These boards were typically marketed through "white-box" integrators, often sold under the EDOM brand (which functioned largely as a distributor for hardware manufactured by firms like Win Technology or Lucky Star).

- TECHNICAL -

Chipset: Typically utilizes OPTi or UMC chipsets that supported the bridge between the 486 processor bus and both VLB and PCI.

CPU Support: Socket 3. Supports the full range of 486-class processors, from early DX-33s to the later AMD Am5x86-P75.

Expansion: A unique combination of VLB slots and PCI slots.

Note: Using both simultaneously was often fraught with bus contention issues, which makes this board a "collector's challenge" to configure properly.

Memory: Generally features 72-pin SIMM sockets (EDO/FPM support).

Form Factor: Baby AT.

- TRIVIA -

The "EDOM" Identity: Similar to your previous entries, EDOM was largely a US-based sales and distribution arm for Taiwanese manufacturing. Research into these boards often reveals they are essentially clones of Lucky Star or Win Technology designs.
