Hi! I have a 486 motherboard that i repaired. Works with a 486 sx cpu, but not with a dx 33 cpu. need jumper info, thanks
I can't find this exact motherboard online, only some similar with the opti chip 82C495 SX.

The motherboards i found are enough similar, but jumpers dont seem the same.

Thanks for help

It would help to have a clear pic of the whole motherboard from straight above. Only the middle pic here is in focus and good enough to make out jumpers.

Best I can do with these pics is suspect the Shuttle HOT-409: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/shuttl … hot-409-ver-1.x ; JP7 and JP9 seem to match, can't judge anything else.

Was that one of the boards you already found? If not, which others did you find and how?

I will do best pictures later. The picture 5mb limit give me trouble with my new phone that cant take picture below 12megapixel. i have to edited my picture and they become tiny at 5mb 🤣.

This is where i repaired, the battery leaks a lot. everything works with the 486 sx 33. Now i try to move the jumper for the 486 dx 33 and let you know if it works 😀

( keyboard connector was glued with epoxy )
( new battery )
( some lines were bad and a resistor )

They have a pretty different layout. Same chipset though. Nice boards, I have the second one 😉

Great - enjoy 😀
