brad1982_5, it could be that.

I looked at the 5x86 pdf further, and it seems to me that that B13 during
operation of the motherboard, would have a continuously varying level on
it (of high/undefined), so a Digital multimeter would sample and get a bit
less than Vcc I guess.
Checking the level during POST and during idle operation might be more
useful. Also, comparitively, the level with the Cyrix in instead of the AMD.
I'm wondering (on that particular M919) if the WB level is recognizable as
high (just high enough) by the Cyrix, but its not quite high enough
for the AMD to see it as a valid high level. Great also that you can use your
other M919 (with functioning WB) to test levels for valid operation of the WB
(with an AMD).
Incidently, I'm thinking that its very probably a driver problem on that SCSI
thing - {unsure if (AMI) bios M919 -v- (AWARD) bios Biostar is a factor}.
Not old driver, but AHA-2940U2W{?yes} trying to load a just wrong! driver,
I'll expand further on this when I return.
Despite my last sentence, I better enquire if you have the (last) driver
and 2940U2W card bios from here;
http://www.adaptec.com/en-us/support/scsi/ult … a2/aha-2940u2w/
There seems to be a 2000 circa W2K driver, with a circa 2001 driver
& management utility? bundle above it (I assume the same or a later
W2K driver is inside that bundle).
EDIT; I figure your setup was the 2940U2W w SCSI HD (U320?) hanging off
the Int or Ext Ultra2 connector, and CDROM off the Int Fast/Wide Ultra or
Int Fast/Ultra Narrow connector, all terminated correctly according to the
document 'Install Guide for the AHA-2940U2W (PDF 3 MB)' from above URL.
Question; was the SCSI HD attached via a different SCSI controller in the
previous computer?
I'm also thinking the OP must be getting pretty annoyed!
AllUrBaseRBelong2Us, perhaps after I grab much needed sleep
I'll figure out something about that whiteout...
