Hiya!
I am facing a problem with the VI11 1.1 mobo I am testing... no matter what I do , I can't get the onboard 256kb L2 cache to be enabled and used 😖
The motherboard is this one: http://motherboards.mbarron.net/models/486vlb3/vi11.htm and all sram sockets are occupied with 32kb chips.
I have tried so far:
a. 2 different 256kb sram sets
b. setting the jumpers to 128kb or randomly
c. having the BIOS external cache option on or off
nothing seems to help, L2 cache is invisible... is there a setting I am forgetting or something? Here are some shots of the BIOS , boot sequence and cachechk program...
I am using the mobo with 8x1mb 30pin simms , an ancient isa vga and a vlb controller with only one 1.44mb floppy connected which boots a minimal startup diskette....
any ideas? 😊
