VL/I-486SV2GX4 and EDO memory???

[menglund]

I have an AMD 486DX2 cpu on a VL/I-486SV2GX4 motherboard.

I recently tried plugging two 8Mb EDO 60nS simms into the Simm banks.
My motherboard could NOT see any of the memory!

I then tried plugging the simms into another mother board and they worked
perfectly!

Does anyone know if the VL/I-486SV2GX4 motherboard can see EDO memory??

Do I need a Bios upgrade???

Currently when I boot it comes up with:

Award modular BIOS V4.50G
#401A0-0305
01/11/95-SIS-85C471-I486SV2G-00

Any Suggestions???

Can't use it. Get a different MB. EDO et.al woudn't work on a VLB board in
general.
