I recently picked up an ABit AB-AT4 motherboard with a 486DX-33 (this is the board from The Retro Web: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/abit-ab-at4).
I popped in a 16-bit Trident ISA VGA card and a few sticks of RAM, and it booted right up. Success!
However, I went into the BIOS settings to start adjusting things, and after navigating through a menu or two, the display became corrupted. I rebooted, and the board has not booted since.
I stuck a POST diagnostics card in it, and I'm getting a POST code of 23.
I'm not entirely certain which AMI BIOS revision the board has, but most searches for "AMI BIOS POST 23" point me at a description that I don't know what to make of: "Base 64k sequential data R/W test passed. Going to set BIOS stack and do any setup before Interrupt".
I've tried swapping RAM with known good RAM, without success.
Anybody have any ideas on what to try next?
