Hi everyone!

For a long time I'm working on a project based on socket 4 motherboard with VLB... And I want to make it clear from the very beginning - This is a strange, exotic buid. I know that VLB here is not the best solution and so on. It is as it is and I want it to stay this way - so the build here is not a subject. But back to meritum. I'm using Socket 4 Pentium 133 overdrive. On post CPU is displayer as Pentium 100, later CPU is recognized correctly by speedsys sst- it means that it is only matter of display on POST.

Some details about motherboard:
The motherboard is Northgate Computer Systems ELEGANCE PENTIUM 90. On TheRetroWeb there is a photo of identical model (literally the same) but with socket 5 in stead of socket 4 (it was common with that Opti Premium chipset that there were both socket 4 and 5 variants of motherboard). Bios comes from PHOENIX.

I'm looking for someone whi can modify BIOS so my CPU is displayed correctly...or have some other version of bios than I do that may recognize CPU.

In attachments there goes and some pictures. As I can't add bios in attachements here goes link where you can download the BIN file.

I can even say that there will be a suprice-reward to someone who will solve this problem 😁

Thanks in advance for any support.
