Hi! first time here, i'm building a m912 😵 with a Ti 486 dx4 100, but in the manual I dont see any jumper spec to this cpu, is there any way to make it work? I assume this cpu is 33mhz bus multiplied by 3, but where are the multiplier jumpers for non intel dx4? 😢
Thanks so much!

By the way it's a m912 v1.4 with 256k real cache.

The Texas Instruments 486 use the Cyrix design.
Look up the configurations for Cyrix CPUs online. 😀

Tested the cyrix m7 and booted! The BIOS recognizes it as a 100mhz cx486dx2 Works well but hangs on games. I’m trying a Ti 486 dx2 80, maybe there is no such a big difference between this two cpus. Thanks ! 😊

Happy to hear it! 😀
Better not try the DX2 settings as they probably use 5V that will kill a DX4 which is supposed to be run at ~3.3V.
