2987 1999-09-21 07:01:00 I'm trying to upgrade an old 386DX motherboard to a Cx486DLC. My little manual says it can be done, and that all that is required is to insert the chip and set the jumpers. One problem - The manual does'nt say what the jumper settings are, and I have no idea who makes the motherboard. I have all the bios codes, and after checking out Windrivers.com, It said that my motherboard is made by 'Autocomputer co, ltd' When I searched Infoseek for it, It could find no traces of the company. The computer's motherboard is original and the computer was assembled by Ultra computers ltd. The Only information I could find on the motherboard, is these codes:
386DX/Cx486DLC TAM/33, 40-MA0/MA1, 09/10/1992.
and:
31-0100-001105-00101111-121291-MXIC-F

Looking at the motherboard, I can see that it has a small 486 socket (as opposed to the larger intel one) and I have a number of 486 chips made by Texas instruments that will fit in. Also there is another socket that currently houses a 08x387 math coprocessor.

If anybody has any idea what the jumper settings may be, or even who makes the thing, could they please post a reply.
