if you're going to drop a cyrix 586 on it, I think you need the voltage regulator module that goes under the CPU. else, it should be a simple drop and run. Yes, you will want a fan. the DX2-66 runs HOT.
Does yours also have the Vibra 16 daughtercard? mine's missing.
If you ever get Windows 3.1 or 95 running on it (not impossible, I've done it.) I'd love to hear some recordings of the vibra doing MIDI. onestop.mid and canyon.mid come to mind, but onestop is pretty much the de-facto standard when it comes to gauging the capabilities of what a sound card can do for MIDI sequencing. the Vibra likely doesn't have an OPL3 onboard the card or has a very rudimentary sounding softsynth-- but there's no recordings of the Houdini Vibra card's MIDI capabilities on Youtube for all I know, and it'd make a great addition to the other obscure cards and devices able to play the file.
