- PCI Bus Mainboard 486 - AMIBIOS 1994/5

I  have  just  spent  the evening trying to get  a  new  "PCI  Bus 
Mainboard 486" motherbaord to work with a new Intel DX4-100 and a 
16MB SIMM (no parity). AMIBIOS (c) 1994, creation date July 1995,

The system started up first of all, but couldn't see the  floppy. 
From  then  on,  things just got worse. In the  end,  the  system 
wouldn't boot at all. Power connections are OK, as are the  leads 
to the system unit, RAM is OK...cabling is OK....

Has  anyone  got  any experience of this board or  this  kind  of 
failure?

How do you clear CMOS RAM? The only thing I can think of is  that 
I have switched something on like internal cache when there isn't 
any. Could that account for the observed behaviour of the system?
