64GiB is too large, use a 32GiB card instead.

Re: Configuring two VLB cards on a 486 vesa local bus
Posted on 2024-05-29, 20:00
Since U43 is empty you’ll not be able to use the VLB in master and slave mode, it'll work only in slave mode. For your setup I believe that you should set both J29 and J39 to 2&3. Also set the J20 for 0 wait states. https://theretroweb.com/motherboard/manual/32938.pdf

Buy a good 20-30W soldering iron like TNI-U TU-730B, a high quality 0.5mm solder wire, a good quality solder sucker and a desoldering wick for cleaning. Also you'll need a flux for soldering new caps.

First sand them with a extra fine sand paper (180-220) and then tin them with desoldering wick.

You can use any AT power supply, but you should remove the second wire on the P8 connector (+5V) just to be on the safe side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_jvQPLj-WE

What is the brand? Have you done this before? Anyhow, before using the flash utility you must set the protection jumper to 12V. https://www.wimsbios.com/biosutil.jsp#gsc.tab=0
