I also have the 586S board and have similar questions about running
non-Cyrix CPUs at 75 Mhz (and also 83 Mhz). From reading through the
manual, it looks like the JP4, JP3, JP2, and JP10 jumpers are used to
set the bus speed, and JP8 is for the multiplier.  

The jumper I cannot figure out is JP11 which is set to 1-2 for
everything except the P200+.  Did you set it to 2-3 or leave it at 1-2
for the K5PR133?  I find it strange that it get's left at 1-2 for 50,
55, 60, and 66 Mhz bus speeds and only changes for the P200+ (75 Mhz but
speed).  That made me think that it has more to do with the P200+ than
the bus speed or the fact that it is a Cyrix.  

Anyone know the facts?
