I have this nice and fully working motherboard Chicony CH-471B Rev 2.0:
I want to use it with my 486 DX4 EW, which is a model with write-back L1 cache. Unfortunately, I cannot manage to make it work on this board with either jumper configuration (tried classic 486 DX4, then P24D), the CPU runs in WT mode every time. I have read this page and learned that it's possible to hardmod some boards to enable WB cache but the page mentions AMDs CPUs, not Intels. AFAIK AMD and Intel CPus have different pinouts so I'm not entirely sure it's possbile to use the page as proper instructions how to do it. I have checked the four necessary pins however and noticed that INV pin is not connected to any jumper. Possible cause of the issue?
Do you have an experience with these types od mods?
