I am in the process of building a dual Pentium Pro rig. I've got all the bits pretty well together, but noticed that the motherboard (a Micronics W6-LI) is missing the VRM module required to run the second CPU. The manual only says the "VRM" module is required, but there is no model number or anything like that.
A few questions:
- Is there a standard to these VRMs or are they proprietary for each board / manufacturer?
- What would be the best way to try to find one of these modules?
- Is there a go-to site or person to talk to find these?
- If I get a busted module, could it be fixed by someone who knows his electronics?
Attached are a few pictures of the board with and without the VRM populated to show the shape of the VRM as well as the socket.
