It's not "an Olivetti", it has a model number and God Knows What. From the looks of it they are using a 440FX chipset, which definitely does not have this problem inherently (and almost certainly handles port 92h correctly), so whomever wired up this motherboard was even more of an idiot that I first thought.
If I were you I would take it back and demand a refund. It isn't a PC you have there.
