Fox II 286
Year: 1991 Fox II is another 286 board that employs the single-chip Headland HT1x chipset. It supports 80286 CPUs of 16 MHz. Note that some board revisions (3.2) have soldered-in 80286 CPUs rather than a CPU socket. |
Fox M 286
Year: 199x Fox M is a very modern, compact 286 board that employs the single-chip Headland HT1x chipset. It supports 80286 CPUs of up to 25 MHz! This board is fascinating to me, as it would be a good contender for a retro PC build to compete against the early 386 era. The |

Rhino II LX-ATXYear: 199x Rhino II LX-AT supports Pentium II CPUs up to 333 MHz in a Slot 1 package. The FSB can be run at up to 100 MHz. It comes with 2 USB ports, an onboard EIDE hard disk and floppy controller interface. A Socket 370 variant of the Rhino II LX-ATX also exists, which support later Pentium II CPUs as well as Intel Celeron CPUs up to 450 MHz. |
Rhino II BX-ATX
Year: 199x Rhino II BX-ATX supports Pentium II CPUs up to 500 MHz in a Slot 1 package. The FSB can be run at up to 100 MHz. The board also comes with USB sockets and a dual onboard EIDE hard disk controller. It also was one of the earliest boards to come with built-in health monitoring. A small footprint version of the II BX-ATX exists, called the II BX-SATX. This comes with 2 ISA slots and 3 PCI slots, but is otherwise the same. |
