A couple of updates to this system.
I replaced the Jetway motherboard with a PcChips M577,and i have to say all those all those talks,about via mvp3 chipset back then are true.
Compared with the Ali Alladin 5,which didn't pose many problems,except not beeing able to activate usb in windows 95,the via wasn't as easy to work with.As soon as i installed chipset drivers,the pc started to lock up when copying files from the cd-rom,so i had to install the drivers without the via ide drivers.
Also i had to remove a stick of 128mb ram and leave just 128 mb in the system,since with 256mb i was getting some error messages also the computer felt slower.
Even now i do get ocassional lock-ups,so prolly there's a bit more tweaking to do.
Since the mb uses a proprietary connector that includes the usb and ps/2 port and i didn't have it,it took me a while to find a corect pinout so i can connect a ps/2 cable,after a while and shorting a ps/2 cable i manged to find a correct pinout so now ps/2 works.
I also replaced the video card with a voodoo 3 3000.
