Michael, IBM made several processors in the 'Blue Lightning' range.
They started off with clock-doubled and clock-tripled 486SLC's (in
essence, turbo 386s) but I think what we are discussing here is an IBM-
badged Cyrix 486DX2/66 - this is to all intents and purposes a standard
486, but it runs at 3.34v, not 5v.  (I have one of the chips here.)
