Hello, I'm having real trouble to identify my mobo.

I can't install it, because I don't know about the specs and don't have the manual. Therefore I can't use a program, that identifies my board.

Google also doesn't help...

Here's some text from the mobo:

2 ali chips with:
ALI m1489 A1
9532 TS7
B38936SC

ALI M1487 B1
9546 TS5
AC7182SB

Then, there's the award bios:
T2108081
(c) 1984-1996

And a chip below, tagged:
AMIKEY(tm)-2
9539
(c)'85-'92 Am. Megatrends Inc.

left from this AMIKEY-2, there's a small chip:
TM'SIA 9347W
TC4069UBP

The first ISA slot (next to the AMIKEY-2), has
S/N: 63A6468
on it

There's also an SMC chip close to the pci slots (on the left side):
SMC
FDC37C665GT
A9540-E247-AIC
6T76783-6

To the right of the CPU socket there is a small round sticker with the number 3 printed on it. What is the full number on the edge of the board above the sticker that ends with F-3.00?

The full text is: PCI48AF-3.00

btw, the number on this 4 chips right under it is:

W24M512AK-15
95211

and also the same chip, just above isa on the right side, between the 1st and 2nd pci slot:

W24129AK-15
95230

I've solved the problem now.

It's a TMC PCI48AF

PCI48AF v3.0 41-a400-001291-00111111-101094-m1487/89-h

Shame on me....

Just didn't search for PCI48AF, I've typed PCI48AF-3.00 and didn't get good results.....

Thanks

TMC - Mycomp PCI48AF v3.0 has been in my database for a long time:

But I haven't the file.
Can you backup your BIOS and send me the file please?

I'd really would like to send you the file.

But I can't get the board running

What is the reason it won't run? Need parts or just help to set things up?
