Hello-

I'm getting a KA7-100 and was looking at the .pdf manual for it and saw this:

There is a 2-pin header on the MB that is for a Suspend Switch, a switch or button on your case that would turn the system into suspend mode when pressed.

I have a "Mode" Switch on my case that at the moment has no use. It ends in a 3-pin ending, but one of them i'm sure is a ground. Can I hook up this button to the Suspend header and have it work?

The Mode Switch is a press-in press-out deal where you press it once and it is depressed in, until you press it again at which point it pops back out. (like a pen)

Thanks

Ruahrc

I think your switch is the old Turbo Mode switch left over from the old 486 days. You used it to clock the processor down so very old DOS games designed for slower systems (16mhz or slower) could be run on the faster 486 systems. I don't think the switch will work for Suspend because I believe the Suspend switch has to be a momentary switch, not an on/off like your switch.
