yes, my fault (recognized after posting). Socket layout is 19x19 where cpu is 17x17. So I used wrong pinouts. It is fine, 3V

https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/shuttle-hot-419 Problem: voltage regulator is properly set as output is 3V but directly measurement on cpu socket still provides 5V. Maybe I wrongly check something or source of VCC in socket is somewhere configured?

Initially thought that will be Opal LX but it is something more interesting (ACER 1217 chipset instead Opti). 66M SLC2, soldered Cyrix fpu and ability to solder socket, Award Bios.

I guess that under extra pcb layer there are chip memories without package and even without globetop. Is right or other approach?

Mobo is after leaking and replaced affected elements. None traces are damaged (by visual looking). Issue: it can't boot with HDD controller but with XTIDE on network card and disabling bios hdd parameters - yes. Suggestions? I swapped bios from my second working leopard.
