    I've bid - there was also a recent auction that Lionel and I participated on, and that seller has more: https://www.ebay.com/itm/324896616161

    It's also interesting that what is probably the Intel "Turbocache" part number ('82495') is just out of view on one picture (Tom has a datasheet up too). All the different boards need to be diagrammed.

    Of course, this doesn't match up to a "Turbocache" pinout - and there is a tweaked pin a buyer needs to straighten.

    I messaged the seller about the 82495 just off the edge of the pic and they responded with "Yes we had a few of that cache memory but it was sold pretty fast. I don't think we have more of that model but I will check to see if there are any remaining in
    the existing area as we are posting as we find new interesting items." I check the seller often in hopes... but I don't hold my breath.

    If anyone has a spare cache card they know works with a Reply TurboBoard, please reach out to me. I ordered one and just get memory errors, but it's on my list to swap out the POD for a 486DX2 and try again.

    Hehe - I put in an opening bid - and ultimately won the auction with no competition (so I'm now with a board that I have no idea where it goes)...

    I'll test the cache modules I have - and have a spare 486DX and 486DX2 CPUs that I can get to you...
