I have this FIC 486-GVT [1] and its unwilling to POST. I've configured it for my 486DX-40 which I'm confident works, but I also tried my 486DX2-80. I have tried to different sets of memory (FPM) for both the 30pin and 72pin slots (I've kept watch on which slot is which so I'm sure I used slot 1 for the 30 and 72 pin slots). I have a speaker attached but when I turn on the system, silence. I have tried with and without a video card installed.
Now, I was thinking that it might need a battery to POST (long shot but might be plausible). However, I'm unsure how many volts to connect to the external battery. I have a 286 that requires 6V (which is indicated in the manual), but maybe this board has different requirements.
So, my question; is it plausible this board requires a battery to be connected for it to POST and if so, how many volts should it be?
