Default Old 486 Mainboard - need jumper information

I have an old 486 mainboard. The information on the board says it is
an ASI-486VLP2 Rev. A1, manufactured by Seanix Technologies.

Unfortunately, I am without a manual, and have recently obtained a 486
DX 33 chip to install.

I do know that the board was previously running an AMD 586, so the
voltage and speed settings are likely quite wrong.

Does anyone know either where I could obtain a manual for this board,
or alternatively if anyone has this board and a manual would it be
possible to obtain information on the voltage and speed settings
(which jumper settings are suitable).

I checked the Seanix web site, but apparently the board is a little
too old. I was unable to obtain any information form Google or web
searches either.

Any assistance is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Allan

I'd leave the AMD-586 in the machine...
it's a lot better than a 486-33

Steve and Kony have given the URL for the jumpers etc.

Do yourself a favour and pick up a 486DX/2 66. You should be able to get one
for cents and it'll double the CPU speed. If you were in New Zealand I'd
post you one from my collection. I think I have three and I used one the
other day so it leaves one spare.

LOL, I used to have about 100 cache RAM chips out of 486 boards, I finally
threw them out when it got to the stage that I didn't use any for two years.
I hope your board has 256KB, it makes a big difference.

Good luck,
