Hm. Tomorrow, I can try and scare up a matching slot-1 CPU.  Or I
can try it in a Tyan motherboard (dual 550MHz), with AGP, if I can
remember where I put that box.

My guess is aperture size, specially afte the problems Jason
(and others?)  worked on for 81x boards. But I don't recall anywhere to
set an aperture size in the HP BIOS (built from a rather old Phoenix
codebase, by the look).

Did you ever try setting a nonzero aperture?  If you can try it, does
that fix the problem, too?
