Hello all.

Anyone know what this motherboard is, or something to point me in the right direction?

I found this in a portable/luggable PC called "IMC TRAVELLER 286"
I found some manuals related to this system here: https://archive.org/details/imc-t-286-lcd-por … age/16/mode/2up
But that motherboard does not seem like the same as mine.

Any help is appreciated.

Appears to use a Texas Instruments TACT8222x chipset - closest matches using that chipset on TheRetroWeb are here (there are only two , unfortunately):

The closest individual match is this 'FTC?' board here:

https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/ftc-ver-8.0

There are some slight differences in component placement, but appears to use the same/similar quantity and model of supporting chips, and your BIOS roms are badged as 'FTC' also. I'd be willing to bet that either yours or the one on TRW is a slightly difference revision of the same model.

The manual linked in there is for the "VER 8.0" board already listed on TRW. The schema in there literally says "VER 8.0" as well.

I'll have a look if I can find anything that matches layout and jumper names for your board.
