Hi,
does someone still have the paper manual please and would be willing to scan the page 2-12?
Im just looking for the info about the 3.3V regulator and the usually available scanned manual is a bit incomplete.

I looked and did not have that manual but the archives say the adapter goes on PS3V header and this from April 1997:

"1. Does FIC still stock voltage regulator daughter boards for 486 motherboards?

To use a lower voltage CPU on 486 motherboards you will need to install a voltage regulator daughter board.
Unfortunately FIC branches, generally speaking, no longer maintain stocks of these.
If you are able to get hold of a 486 Voltage Regulator Daughterboard, the Part no is:
12-00061-05, for 3.3V, 3.45V, 3.6V and 4.0V "

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

Thanks.The VRM module has some extra jumpers so I assume when there's no jumper it's configured for 3.3V.The rest of the voltage settings should be pissible to figure out by testing.
