Amtron motherboards

Hello,

Does anyone know about Amtron motherboards? I have three that were given to
me with Cyrix 333 on them. I also have some AMD K6-2 CPU's and have been
playing around with them. The documentation for one of the boards has a
jumper that sets the multiplier. Looks like this:

1 · · ·

2 · · ·

3 · · ·

A B C

I hope my illustration looks the same as it looks on my computer. Anyway, I
have three rows labeled 1, 2, 3 and three columns labeled A, B, C.

This is JP7 on what I think is a M571 motherboard. The manual is on a CD in
a PDF file along with many others. The board layout picture is as close to
the board I'm talking about as any of the other layout pictures in other
manuals on the CD. OK, it tells me all about how to configure the jumper for
all the different multipliers. And it only tells about columns A and B. Can
anyone tell me what columns C does?

The manual shows a column C in the diagram for JP7, but doesn't say anything
about it.

Sincerely,

Injam

Sometimes there will be a spare row of pins so that unused jumpers can
be "stored" there - in your case AB would make a connection but BC would
not. Otherwise, column C might be for factory testing purposes or for
the same motherboard with different components installed.
