Hi folks!
Can someone confirm me that W6-Li supports PII-OD?
I try to run SL3EA and they’re detected as Overdrive 266 and bios is freezing after mem counting with info that say power management is not supported on this tyle cpu. Bios is w6-Li-04 latest i think.

Cpq: ap550(2x1G/256k), sp750(2x900/2MB), 4100@PODP5V83, 5100(2xpII300),w8000(2x2.8).

I confirmed it by myself: Bios ver 4 does not support PODP at all. My board is rev B1.

Micronics support said that bios downgrade is impossible but they wrote nonsense. I used /mode=3 switch and it worked .

After downgrading to the older version of bios: w6li2m-3 system is functioning with both PODPs with enabled cache.
Only thing is POST display CPU=Overdrive 75Mhz
