Well I just changed the jumpers un the MB so that the CPU Frequency is set
at 66MHz and the CPU Multiplier is set at 4.5. The external cache now
functions without any problems. My next question, does this mean that the
Bus is running at 66MHz and not 100MHz? If this is the case, I would
strongly discourage anyone from buying the PCChips M577. Why would the cache
would when the CPU frequency is set at 66 X 4.5 and not at 100 X 3?
