Hey guys I need your help because I'm struggling with this. I have a DEC Venturis 466fp(full profile)that refuses to boot when I swap in a DX4-100. According to what little literature I've found regarding this system it should boot with a DX4-100.
The only thing I've done so far is flash the BIOS from revision 1.02 to 2.00 but that didn't help. It actually made my system unstable with 68mb of ram installed so I had to dial it back to 32mb. 😐
So can you guys take a look at what little info I have and tell me if I'm chasing the impossible or tell me if I missed a jumper setting/BIOS issue because I am stumped.
Here is a link to a pdf of the manual. http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/mds-19 … pc/a0813svb.pdf.
As you can see on page 13 and 46 is should support a DX4-100.
Here is the documentation I have for the BIOS 2.00 revision. The original can be found here. https://web.archive.org/web/20011122235143/ht … tal/epid41.html
So far I have tried two AMD cpu's and neither one works. They don't even really fit the socket right. So anyway sorry for the long winded post but any ideas or suggestions would be welcome.
