it's probably just the difference between Rev.1 and Rev.1.3 here you can find a picture of the original revision (VRM not populated) with the 14pin jumper: https://computer-retro.de/Bilder/Mainboards/MS-4138-Ver-1-Mainboard-AMD-Am486DX2-80-CPU-SiS-85C471-Sockel-3-Amibios-1993.jpg you can see that …

Still... same - doesnt match! My mobo (if agreed with Your pin countage method) is set to 7-8 at JC1 Yes? Refering to the Manual, it should be then a 486 SX/DX CPU! I don't have SX/DX - I have installed DX4....

Still it doesn't match. Look at the manual and mobo again 14 vs 16 pins... there's one more thing: In manual to set 3.3V on CPU You need to bridge JC2 PIN 1-14 different than signs at mobo PIN 2-15 <---that's how it is now

Aftet quick analyse of the manual I've encountered that it is not coresponding to this MB: - In section cpu type setrings: JC1 for example has 14 pins and my mobo has 20, JC2 in manual 14 pins in mobo has 16 So sadly I think it's not that MB. It's VERY similar at first look, but it's different mobo. …

Thanks guys for great info! It's nice to know that You're running win3x.org! I'll try to make BIOS dump, first I need to setup those things today, and convert ATX to AT PSU.

Of course - I've tested it in a Super Socket 7 rig and two Socket 462 boards - all present the same garbled vertical lines (all boards work fine with a variety of AGP and PCI cards). After doing some hunting around I came across this post that seems to be the same (or similar enough) issue. …

I like that. SX or DX? DX 😀 It's got a CD-rom and a pretty nice video card, so I suspect it'll be a 386DX-40. Really nice case! Isn't being homeless worth it to have a perfect 386 with turbo display? Definetely worth it mate! 😁

Bought a Matrox M3D yesterday. In working condition. But now I just thought - are there drivers for XP so I can use it in my BP6 dual Mendocino build? I'm not aware of any XP driver available for the NEC PCX2. Keep in mind: it is a 1997 graphics accelerator chipset. Windows XP came out much later …
