I also have a new board to add. It's a Gateway Anigma 586. I don't know how to handle the optional features on this board. My camera isn't very good, but I have pictures of one without audio or video (and with the power supply fan header desoldered). Form factor: ATX CPU: Pentium P54C and P55C …

This seems not to be listed so far? NMC-5VX2 Very similar to this one, but 5VX2 BIOS is 256 kb compared to 128kb for the 5VMX: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/epox-pronix-ep-mvp3g-m-1mb-cache#downloads 5XV2.zip NMC-5VX2.jpg NMC-5VX2ss.jpg …

Initially thought that will be Opal LX but it is something more interesting (ACER 1217 chipset instead Opti). 66M SLC2, soldered Cyrix fpu and ability to solder socket, Award Bios. We have a winner!...I'm sure the Retro Web team would be interested in any info, pics & BIOS dumps for their database …

Hi, Sorry for ressurecting a dead thread, but i have been given both a MSC-242 and MSC-262 (among other stuff) WITH manuals. Are you still interested in a copy? YES please. As can be seen we miss the bulk of the info. Front/back photos + Bios dumps are welcome too. https://theretroweb.com/ …

You are welcome, in this case you have added some new info. In case you get this board working, can you please make a bios dump with uniflash later on? As we don't have an actual bios file dump yet: https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/newtec … t-5ta#downloads

Can you please check if you have the SI3 or SI7 marking somewhere? In theory both should work with the same bios, but I want to make sure.

The board runs (yep, it works) on i386DX-20 along with i385 cache controller and i387 coprocessor. It has 32kb of cache. There are some nice jumper cables which seem …

Another correction is to the Unknown (SiS471 3VLB) https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/10291 First of all, this mobo requires 36-bit SIMMs (the 72 pin ones). This is rather important, it will not work at all with the more common 32-bit (no parity) ones. Also seems very picky about 8MiB …
