I cannot find any information online about this motherboard, maybe some of you encountered this motherboard? I am looking for jumpers settings and max supported memory, or any details you can share.

Chipset OPTi 82C596/597 (Cobra)

thx, CPU did not come with the motherboard, plan to use it for testing - but might need a 66MHz one if indeed locked to 66MHz

JP1 in top left corner I assume is linked to battery...

Hope you're ready for some craptastic Pentium performance. If you're lucky it might even support 64-bit memory! PCI is bridged to the VL-bus. Even though the board doesn't have the VLB slot soldered in, you still get to enjoy the benefits of sub-par PCI bandwidth.

BTW, I think at least in the early versions of P66 it required more than 5V. Something like 5.15V or more. You might want to make sure your board can actually drive a P66...a lot of boards back then weren't reliable at 66MHz.

Just ensure that your power supply is running 5V on the high. IIRC, the Batman's Revenge board mentions 5.27 V.
