Hmm from the data sheet everything in jumpers matches with 1-2 =0, 2-3 =1. Except it should be 0-1-1 for Ref/2 (Ref is the 14.3Mhz xtal) for ~8Mhz like this

If Himem.sys gives an error you could have bad ram OR you need to use the /machine:xx option with it. http://www.manmrk.net/tutorials/DOS/help/himem.sys.htm Neither of those games use any extended memory so do not need Himem.sys to run.

Additionally (maybe relatedly?): This board's method of changing the FSB configuration is very different to the Socket 370 boards I have. The Socket 370 boards just need a jumper or DIP switch (or couple) switched, and it just simply runs the CPU slower accordingly. However, this board has the DIP …

Those PSU AT connectors are a bit odd compared to the dozen PSU I have. None have those longer fingers. Some have no fingers, some have just one or two, some have all but the ones that do are all smaller like the Green circled ones. Use an Xacto knife or similar and trim back the long ones circles …
