this Chaintech, i cant seem to get a normal intel 486dx2-66 to run on it, atm its a AM5x86-133 and it runs as it should.

as manual/ jumper picture is very unclear, i cant seem to make it work..
Anyone has this and can send pictures, or better images of the jumpers and how to configure it for dx2-66 ?

thanks in advance

Jan

https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/chaint … ch-4som2.1-m102
but when i try "modify" this from working with that am5x86 cpu to a normal 486dx2-66, i wont start so im doing something wrong and from those bad pictures i dont seem to hit it correctly.. thats why i hope someone else has a working 486dx2 and can share settings with me..

Did you remember to set the voltage to 5V (JP32-JP34 need to be closed, JP31 needs to be pulled)? J2 to J7 are jumper blocks, and you need to open/close all of the positions. So to get from 5x86 (WB) to DX2, move all the jumpers from J4 to J3, and all the jumpers from J7 to J6.

I guess the only way to make a DX2-66 not booting is to either set externally 50MHz (I assume at 40MHz it would still boot)
or to set the voltage to 3.3V or 3.45V when it is a 5V cpu
