- I was trying to test a (Zeos 386SX-20) motherboard on my workbench the
- other day, and I couldn't get any response from it. The only things I
- had connected were a (Hercules clone) video card and monitor, the speaker,
- and the power supply--not even any memory! I expected to hear a few beeps
- indicating failure of the memory test, but I heard and saw nothing. Are
- connections required to the "turbo" switch, the "reset" switch, the "keylock"
- switch, and the CMOS battery in order to make the board operational? If so,
- how should these connectors be jumpered? (I don't have a case for this
- motherboard yet.)
