Re: Jetboard (J-Mark) 656HXA with 6x86-PR166+ cpu, 32mb ram. Do I need extra L2 cache? What about chipset drivers?
Posted on 2020-09-14, 16:50
Well you can, but imo it's not really meaningful. More cache doesn't improve performance that much. However if you plan to install more than 64MB of ram (which is useless on a pentium system imo) you should do it. You have one of the rare intel chipset capable to cache more than 64MB Ah I see.. hmm …

That's because your board doesn't have a second voltage regulator. This is a problem on many ""socket 7"" boards. They say in the manual that split voltage support have been added to the 656HXA P I added a bios image I found online here : http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/3281 (the manual …

Finally got my oldstyle case home from ebay and it hosts a Jetboard 656HXA with Intel 430HX ("Triton II") chipset as far as I can understand. The motherboard itself doesnt seem to support Pentium MMX cpus, while the chipset does?? (https://www.anandtech.com/show/72/5) I have a Pentium MMX166mhz that …

Educated guesses, no gurantees: The two 4pin connectors (one with white frame) are probably for internal sound stuff (CD audio etc). R GG L is for "Right Ground Ground Left". The large connector with the white frame (CN1?) is for the VGA/audio breakout cable LPT (printer) port is more likely on …

Hmm.. stupid question.. how do I connect keyboard to this motherboard? The odd big round contact? Mouse will be com port? Can I use an atari/amiga mouse? Not stupid, I didn't notice that either! Hard to tell with the photo but fair guess is that its a standard AT style keyboard, more technically …

Say 486 / 100mhz And what's about vesa 1.X? I heard that you should get 2.0 for a 486 system?
