Iam still busy with my 386 system, but only made a little progress on it. Had installed my computrend contaq 386_486 motherboard first.
But wasnt happy with how it is installed in my AT computer chassis.. Now i only have 1 point to screw the board fast. And it is a little bit wobbly where the front of the case is.
Also not very happy with the 2 upper 8bit slots.. But the good its still a good responsive motherboard.
If i install a longer motherboard, i can screw it fast on the back and the front.. So less headache for now so can get further on the next steps to come.
So i taken the Elitegroup UM386 and put it on the table to test it out. Had to change the memory strips, because suddenly it gave parity errors on startup (which earlier never happend and the board booted then fine)
After all it is some good now.
But still have some question about this UM386.
1. Is there a undocument option to install 256KB of cache ??
2. is there an other option for the co-processor to install over the weitek or 80387?? I have the IIT and ULSI in own stock.. (which is the faster option)
3. Bios is limited on options. Are there other options to swap with?
4. Is it true that for 0 wait state you need 60NS of memory strips?
5. What do memory read / write hit option in the motherboards bios?
~ At least it can do black and white~
