Hey there,
I own an IEI PSC-586VGA which I quite like. Recently I decided to upgrade the machine a bit and exchange the Pentium 133 against a MMX 166. Sadly the machine doesn't seem to like said CPU too much (it has been confirmed as working in another PC). The PC would boot up and show it's inital message (BIOS date, AmiBIOS logo, etc.) but hang before counting up the RAM.
The board allows CPU frequencies up to 166MHz according to the manual with a FSB of 66MHz, which I set. It also allows setting the VCore to either 2.5, 2.9, 3.3 or 3.45V ... any ideas? To this day I thought MMX CPUs were fully backwards compatible - as long as you can set the VCore accordingly.
Attached is the BIOS I'm using (in case anyone has a newer one, let me know!) and the short manual full of engrish.
