Talk to ?Cannon.  It is not a brand name I recognize, nor would I
expect many others.  Not enough data.  Brand and model of the
motherboard is needed since we don't have X-ray vision.  For that
data you must open the machine.  The problem is the many 486's did
not really have that much helpful information on their mboards.

No help from cannon, means you must eyeball the hardware and tell us
what it tells you.  I don't expect much because often not much data
was given.  During the 486 period, there was great variability in
what was possible.
