Unfortunately the scanned manual is not readable here.
So you have to try it yourself.
The setting for 40Mhz is useless.


AT-Bus clock divisor:


Depending on the Board Freq this Jumpers needs to be adjusted.
The resulting AT-Bus Frequency should not exceed 8.5MHz.

Bios Upgrades


Here is a saved version from a M536 (Bios-ID:03/03/97-i430VX-02071997C-00).
It looks like this is very much the same version as used on all the other i430VX based PCChips boards.
You may try the latest Bios for the other VX-based boards (10/16/97S),
which supports HHDs over 8GB and up to 32GB.
Or try the patched version here for support up to 64GB.
I HAVEN'T HAD THE OPPURTUNITY TO TEST IT, SO USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
