Re: Adding 3.3V regulator to a cost reduced 486 motherboard
Posted on 2021-02-07, 20:07
Hi Douglar I found the info here: https://www.elhvb.com/webhq/models/486vlb3/sis486ge.html The model number matches and I had no issues identifying all the jumpers. I hope the regulator is all it needs. Again, what puzzles me is that the PCB says 5V/3.3V but then the 3.3 regulator is missing. …

It also could be that the ROM on your EIDE PRO was to old. I have the same cards over here. And my card uses V2.0 of the rom. Yours is v 1.03.. could make a difference. Thats why manufacturers updating their roms. One of my cards works flawless. Only have to test the other (new in boxed one) If its …

On normal operation setting the drive had some fail issues on the bios setup program - hard disk utility could format it with normal operation mode. But couldnt do a media analysis nor Auto interleave function in …
