I just got through building a 386 system, and I think you may be out of luck--sounds to me like your case and motherboard are using two different philosophies of turboism. On the system I built there was a single jumper. If shorted, the system runs at 20 MHz, and if open, it runs at 16 MHz. All I had to do was pull off the jumper and replace it with the connector from the turbo switch on the case. It sounds to me like the maker of your motherboard figured you'd want to select the speed it was going to operate at and leave it that way. To be honest, even though I have a turbo switch that works, I never have any reason to use it. I wouldn't have cared if my case didn't have a turbo switch. Of course, it would probably bother me a little bit to have a switch on the front of my case that didn't do *anything*, but that may be what you'll have to live with unless somebody else can think of some way to make it work.
