So I have this ancient computer that I dug up and want to get working for kicks. There is how ever one problem. I have not the faintest clue on the motherboard name, and cannot find a manual for it. I am 75% sure that the jumpers are not set correctly. I know that it is a Compaq Motherboard (possibly one of the Compaq 5000 Series) It has 4 PCI slots and no AGP slots, It has on board video and sound, dont know the video but the sound is an ESS Allegro ES 1989S. It has two slots for RAM. I have two pictures of it that I will upload

This appears to be the BMW board made for Compaq by Mitac - support page with jumper settings here:
