I am building a 386 machine and have a question about the 'speedometer'
displays present on many of the cases I've seen. What do they connect
to do get the speed info? My motherboard (a Soyo 386/25 AMI BIOS,
C&T Chipset) has jumpers (and places to plug in wires for) keylock,
"turbo" LED, and "turbo" switch. Does this mean the "speedometer"
display would be useless for this m/b, or does it somehow connect to
where the speed LED goes?
Also on the same m/b.. There are three oscillators on the mb. One
is 50, one is 40, and one is 20 (I think). Someone told me that tmeans
the cpu will run at either 10, 20, or 25mhz. The manual just says it
will run at 20/25 though, and when I toggle (ctl-alt- -), it toggels
between 20 and 25. What is the third oscillator for?
Thanks in advance for your comments.
