Help Identifying very RARE motherboard
Posted: Mon Jul 26, 2004 3:33 am
I have an old Pentium 90 Mhz with Windows 95 loaded with the following BIOS/CHIP information on my motherboard:
BIOS Date: 11/16/94
BIOS Type: Award Modular BIOS v4.50G (with 2094 bug)
BIOS ID: 11/16/94--2A5KBH01-00
BIOS Eval: Release 11/16/93'( P54C )
Chipset: ALi M1451 rev 189
Superio: Winbond 877TF (use 89h) rev 0 found at port 250h
More info:
On the motherboard I clearly see the following string:
FG-P54C
But no manufacturer and no model of the MOBO.
The Chipset says Ali on the output, but both big chips on the motherboard states:
PCM
PM7100
A9441
The BIOS chip label says:
BIOS Chip Label
Award Software. Inc 1994
All Rights Reserved
ISA/PCI 586
S/N 012923098 V______
On the BIOS chip itself says:
TMS JL
27C010A 2.0
LUE9423000
Korea
The motherboard has:
Three banks (6 slots) for memory
Four PCI slots
Four ISA slots
The output from Bios Info Tool program (version 1.3)
ROM BIOS by Award Software International Inc., http://www.award.com/
BIOS ID Strings: 11/16/94--2A5KBH01-00, 2A5KBH01
Model: Award Modular BIOS v4.50G (Elite BIOS), 11/16/94
Vendor: Hsin-Tech
Version String: Release 11/16/93'( P54C )
Designed for: ALi M1449/61/51
Peripheral bus(es): ISA/PCI
_ Supported features:
[¹] Boot sector write-protect anti-virus function
Given this information, I suppose is a PCchips motherboard.
I have tried for weeks to find out the model of this motherboard to get a BIOS upgrade with no luck!!
Just to mention, I´d like a BIOS upgrade as this computer is a year 2k compliant.
ANY help really appreciated.
