Yesterday I got my hands on the board in the attached photo - unlike other 486 boards I have it's not completely anonymous (it has a model / part-number on it, pretty useless though), but it doesn't resemble any of the 486 boards in TH99, so that I have no clue about what each jumper does.
Since the CPU is soldered the jumpers aren't that many, but still, I'd very much like to have everything under control 😀; another good thing is that the board works as it is (the CPU is a TI486DX4-S at 100MHz).
BIOS id string is 02/28/96-SiS-496-497/A/B-2A4IBR22C-00, and another mistery is the function of the turbo switch - it clearly does something (SPEEDSYS CPU score toggles between 39.xx and 34.xx and SYSINFO CPU score toggles between 170.xx and 120.xx), but the CPU frequency seems to be the same, as well as the presence of L1 and L2 cache.
