The SLC is made by IBM using 486SX technology licensed from Intel with the restriction that the chips can only be sold mounted to the motherboards, not loose. The SLC has a 16K cache as opposed to the normal 8K, which Robert Mitchell mentioned. The DLC is, if I recall a Cyrix product. The Cyrix 486 upgrade chip that is pin-compatible with the 386DX chip is I believe the one that had the bug mentioned above. In any case, Cyrix chips made after March '94 are supposed to have the bug fixed. Hope this clears things up a bit. If I've missed something, please leave me mail...
