But while keeping my eyes open, i found that someone's selling a motherboard, that is not compaq motherboard, but has all the ports, screw holes and even riser slot exactly the same as the compaq. So i got it for 10€ and i hope that will be a "backup solution" if i don't get the original motherboard working.
It would actually be even an upgrade - it has cache (which compaq does not have) and slowest CPU i can provide there is dx2-50, which is double the "megaherzes"! 😁
So it's an Acer Acermate A1G, right? My guess is Acer produced those boards for Compaq and also offered their own systems with it.
Thanks! I didn't start identifying it before i got it to at my hands.
There are few candidates, when i started off from your suggestion.
A1G - all looks good, except the video memory is different/not socketed and there is no on-board ram. (pads are there)
A1G4 - based on the component image on UT, it is identical, except the jumpers between cache and tag chip are wrong way around. (Mine seems to be like A1G)
A1GL - Same story as A1G4
There is A1G+, which doesn't have any picture material. Maybe that will be a perfect match. Once i receive the board, i'll try to identify it properly.
Thanks for the suggestion and helping me to get on track with this board!
