After some help from Kanecvr,i managed to start the board
Saddly the Amd dx4 120 mhz is not working,i managed to get a 5x86 133mhz,which works fine,but the actual bios sees it as an 120mhz.
Atm i have 2 problems with the board:
-i can't get it to run l1 cache in write back mode,the cpu acording to what i read about it online should have we l1 cache,but if i set the jumper to wb the board does not post.If i set it to wt or take the jumper of completly the board works.There is an option in bios about activating l1 cache in wb mode but doesn't seem to have any effect.
-second problem is with hard drive size,altough the bios sees the right size of the hard drive,when i try to partition the drive,fdisk(i used fdisk from windows 98se boot disk) sees it only a maximum space of 504mb,i tried with a 800mb and 1,2gb harddrive.
I ran speedsys,it's the only testing program for dos i have and i got this results,are they ok for a 5x86?
