Hello Friendly VCFers
I have a 486 class system with the following configuration:
Intel 486dx2-66
DTK PKM-0038S motherboard
36mb ram
Cirrus GD5426 VLB video card
DTK PTI-250DW VLB IDE card
(and sound and network cards removed for the time being)
It is rock solid stable with the dx2.
For fun and historical interest I picked up a Pentium Overdrive 83mhz. It fit nicely in the board and I altered to jumper settings as specified on the motherboard to indicate P24T. I also changed the clock speed to 80mhz, which is the closest option available to 83mhz. See the settings here:
http://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/D/DTK-COMPUTER-INC-486-PKM-0038S-VER-6-02.html
The machine posts, checks memory, runs in BIOS, etc., just fine, but will not load an OS. It stops right after the System Configurations page (see attached picture). It just sits there forever.
I have checked and rechecked the jumpers. Perhaps it has something to do with the slightly-wrong clock frequency?
I thought to ask the forum before I do anything drastic.
