Hey guys, could you help me identify this old mobo? I found it in a dumpster and I have no manual whatsoever.
Here is a pic of the board: http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/2669/mobo8vc.jpg (The pic can be used freely on websites etc. by anyone who want's to do so.)
I can't boot the thing, since I have no components that old, but I'll try to find something to make it run. If it even works... Chances are it is dead, but at least I can't see any physical damage. I'm hoping to be able to build a working comp out of this thing one day and I might need a manual to set the jumpers.
Unknown 486 board with AMIBIOS and UMC chips

Not of much help, seems to be a much newer revision of your board

Do you think the same jumper settings would also work on my board, if I happened to find them somewhere? How about replacing the cpu with a 100MHz unit, which is supported by the newer version?Denniss wrote:Not of much help, seems to be a much newer revision of your board

I tried to boot the board yesterday, but the leds seemd to be only things that worked. It didn't even beep and the screen was blank all the time. However, I think the psu was almost dead, not the board. Maybe I'll try again some other time with another psu...
