Thank you for checking with me.
486 processors and boards are quite rare and expensive in my country so i can't damage something by mistake.

Nice board

i have one of those m912 without cache chips
+ one M919
+ one M915i
+ one M921 that refused to work, never saved bios nor let me boot and one leg of UMC chip was broken.

but i never liked pc chips
feels like the motherboard has the devil inside and will boot when it wants to.

the m919 i have it with amd133 cpu, that equals like a pentium75, with pci card it works fine, but with Vesa card as soon as you launch doom the colors get all corrupted. and with other motherboards the vesa card works perfectly

sadly those motherboards are the most common ones on areas where people didnt have a lot of money to spend and never cared about quality.

Speaking of, that board was my childhood to adulthood from 1994-2012 (BIOS chip died and CMOS battery never got read since the holder lost its contact points) with real L2 cache (assuming 256KB at that time).

it was a trident Trident VESA VLB 9440 i belive
i freaked out because it was the ONLY vesa card i saw for sale in years, in my city
i thought it was broken, but i tried 2 other motherboards and the card was great

the combination of m919 and amd133 and vesa , was just a mistery, as soon as you launch doom...colors got corrupted

Sorry for digging up that old thread. I just tested this with mine and it works. Thanks for sharing. Do you or anyone know what the correct jumper settings for 1MB cache are? The link in your post doesnt share any cache jumper settings.
