So I picked up this 486 motherboard the other day for basically nothing, and looked like it was in good condition(the battery had been removed some time ago). It came without a bios chip or a cpu, so I had to supply these. Ive been testing with a 486sx25 cpu, and a Mr.Bios bios which I looted from an old dead board. When I try to power on the system nothing dramatic happens, but I'm not getting any post beeps, but the cpu does warm up and if jumper the turbo switch and attach an led to the turbo header it lights up. So the board is receiving power properly as far as I can tell The board has information printed on it for setting the cpu and cache jumpers. But not for everything else. Is it possible its not booting because of jumper settings elsewhere on the board?
I've been able to find online documentation for other ALI 1429 based boards, but not this one in particular. So If anyone can help me with this one it would be awesome.
