I upgraded the CPU in my SPARCstaton 5 from the stock 70MHz to a microSPARC II 110MHz, but it doesn't recognize the faster processor.  It just runs it at 70MHz.  After setting the proper jumper settings it still comes up as 70MHz.  I tried every possible jumper setting without any luck.  Does the board have the jumpers on it for looks? or does it actually support the faster processors?  Anybody with experience?

cpu0 at mainbus0: MB86904 @ 70 MHz, on-chip FPU
cpu0: 16K instruction (32 b/l), 8K data (16 b/l): cache enabled
