I bought two WORKING Socket 3 board from the recycler. Yay! :D One is a similar 4MHL3S to the other one I had. Except this one doesn't have a zif socket. I guess its older.

I've had it happening before to me. I never 100% checked it, but from what I've been told, it's because a pin on the VGA port changed functionality during the 90's. Before that, it was used to tell if the monitor is monochrome or color. Then it was used to identify the monitor to the computer. So if …

Well, have there been any btx boards with ISA made ? The PCI part can't be reverted so it doesn't matter ^^

It's a "adsp" iirc. It's almost never used by anything. Both cards should be identical despite one having a "french" chip

I have checked the BIOS from the TMC. I couldn't get it to POST in my emulator, but many 486 BIOS don't POST in it ... However I could open it in modbin (a DOS tool to explore old Award BIOSes), so I think it's fine. I added it to the matching page in UH19 For your reset signal issue I can't really …

Yeah it has a slot that's physically compatible, but the way they hide it or unpopulate it, the fact it's not described as vlb in the manual and things people have found point that it might not be that. Again maybe they're wrong, so yeah double checking is the best solution here ^^ I'd love to see …

Is it this board ? http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/2134 Because the unpopulated slot isn't a VLB slot from what I've been reading. Now maybe I'm wrong, but at least check that the voltages match a vlb slot ^^

I've had a motherboard with the reset signal stuck high. The issue was the 14mhz crystal missing. Maybe it's been removed on your board or it's bad ? Also would you like to help us improve our database by providing a photo of your motherboard ? http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/result/?name= …
