I have that board as well. The DX2 66Mhz runs a 33Mhz bus as its clock doubled. It should be jumped for 33Mhz (JP102 103 and 104 all CLOSED) and work correctly.

One thing I didn’t mention was that the cmos battery is dead. It’s one of those old cylinder ones that are soldered directly to the board. I need to replace it. Do you think that could cause my issues? I’ll check my jumpers again once I get home but I’m 99% sure they are set like you described. I’ll take some photos when I get home later today and post them up as well.

Can you show a picture of the board? These should use DALLAS DS1387 RAMified clock chips, not barrel batteries. Maybe you have a different board. At least I am pretty sure mine doesn't even have a place to solder on a barrel battery.

So I apologize reference the battery I was referring to. It DOES have the Dallas DS1387. I got mixed up with another board I am working on. The other issues I've been talking about are with this board. I have attached some photos anyways so you all can see if there's anything I have set wrong. Thanks.

So I’m not sure what exactly happens but I decided to load the bios defaults again after going over all the jumper settings and now the machine works great. I didn’t have time to run some benchmarks but doom ran great. I’ll hopefully run some benchmarks tonight and I’ll give an update. Thanks all and Anonymous coward for your responses. .

Interesting. Your board has a KBC with a 95 datecode. The rest of the board seems to be from 1993. I guess the controller went bad at some point? It seems to be a pretty common problem on these EISA boards for some reason.
