I collect Leading edge machines and would like the opportunity to add that to the collection. I can't for some reason send private messages on here.

BUT, in addition to this recently I also got a non working intel pentium pro OVERDRIVE socket overlay. This was a stop gap for people who spent 10-12 gand on the machines while intel fielded pentium II (300+ percent improvement). It amounts to a pentium ii on a slower bus.
