With a 40MHz cpu clock, you almost certainly can't run the PCI bus at
33MHz; I have one that gives a choice of 20MHz and 40MHz.  Is there
nothing on the board or the BIOS that selects between CPUCLOCK and
CPUCLOCK/2 or something like that?  Most likely it would work at
40MHz even though its out of spec.

I suppose you could try configuring the board for a DX4-100, which would run
the CPU slower but give you a 33MHz PCI bus.
