I guess it would be funny how much we already have spent, and bought on vintage computer parts..like ebay and so on, especially your collection of motherboard.
Its nice if you could post some pictures of it, but that wouldnt be required. But if you want to, then you can do that.

Lets getting started.. I would be nicer if we post on the same category..
Lets started on 486 motherboards..

This is what i have got now.

Freetech 486F38 cpu auto voltage with Rev G bios (support till AMD 5x86 P75, and no y2K anymore)
QDI V4P895P3 / SMT V4.0 (wrote a new bios from the SMT 5.0 board)(now support till AMD 5x86 P75)(the older bios didnt work on the board, board didnt go on, so was dead on the bios rom)
QDI V4P895P3 / SMT V5.0 (support till AMD 5x86 P75)
ADI TK8498F/GP 4N D24 (only 5V processors for now, tested with an voltage interposer board till AMD 486 DX4 - 100Mhz) Iam working on it to support more voltages.
Chicony CH-471B REV 1.0 (missing the VR part, hope i can fix it with the knowledge of the other board i bought. Also hope i can use the bios)
Chicony CH-471B REV 2.0 (the board that is listed on the upper side) Does have the VRM part and maybe a later bios version the seller says it could do till 8.4GB drives, so i guess its the right bios that would solve any Y2K bugs, and i guess it would have better cpu code support (i hope it will do AMD 5x86 P75 ones too)
Chaintech 486 SLD motherboard - Now it would do only 5volt processors, bios is junk as well. So need to fix this board too.
Chaintech 486 SLD /SLP (have VR onboard and supports 5,4, 3.3 volt processors) Got the same problem that the bios is junk
Chaintech 486 SLE (Without an VR onboard, have the same circuit as 486SLD, board not tested yet. I hope i can use this bios for the other two chaintech boards and get rid off 2YK bug..
Abit 486 AH-4T VLB socket 3 motherboard

~ At least it can do black and white~

I think some of mine are OEM motherboards too, mostly they sadly are missing the VR part, so no other then 5 volt cpus are possible.
Can you tell me which OEM boards you have?

@Robin4
didn't check the 486SLE bios yet? tsk tsk tsk , bad Robin4!! 🤣 Send me a dump! 🤣

I don't have as much stuff as I used to , only kept:

my old 440BX mobo, a Diamond Micronics C400
the 486SLE
an A-Open VI11 r1.1 486vlb mobo
an SNB-MOO8 286/16 mobo
a couple of these last and small 386DX/40 mobos that I am unsure of the model/make
and ofcourse 3x HOT591-P ss7 mobos (my favorite!)
and lastly a DFI P5BV3+ mvp3 ss7 mobo that is very similar to the HOT-591p's but has 1MB L2 cache instead of 512kb

I wouldn't know where to start.
I did try to make lists of what motherboards I have, but I kinda kept misplacing said lists 🤣

But last time I counted, I had slightly over 100 motherboards (not sure if all of them worked though, but most of them should work) of which around 1/3 are AT boards (most Socket 7 Pentium boards) and a lot of Slot 1 ATX boards.

I did post some pics of how I stored them (on shelves with usually 2 motherboards in each motherboard box and some motherboards stored in those kiwi boxes) in my attic. They are still there!

Edit: I found a few sheets of paper with a partial list of motherboards (I made lists by socket)
Apparently I should have the following boards:
ATX Socket or Super 7:
*GA-5AX rev 4.1
*P5A 1.03 (2x)
*P5A 1.04
*Soltek SL-56D5
*PA-2013 pcb 2.0
*MS-5169
*Epox EP-MVP3G2
*AOpen AX59PRO
*PWB-20630-001 rev B01 (SiS 5598)
*PWB-20630-001 rev E01 (SiS 5598)
*M5SIBADCXP512K (SiS 5598)
*TX97-XE
*TX97-X
*GA-5SMM

Slot 1
*20650-001 rev B01 (440EX)
*35-8929-00-01
*MS6147 ver 1.1 BX7
*Chaintech 6ATA2
*ABIT BE6-II
*AOpen AX6B (2x)
*SE440BX2 Intel
*Chaintech ??? BX board (8x)
*Intel Nightshade board

Socket 370
*TUSL2-C rev 1.04 (2x)
*TUSL2-C rev 1.03
*TUV4X 1.01 (3x)
*GA-60XT rev 1.0
*ECS P6VXAT rev 1.0 (yes, I actually have an ECS board 😜 )
*AOpen AX3S-U

*CUSL2 rev 1.02
*Chaintec 60JV2
*Intel D815DEEA
*Compaq P3B5A (has a black CPU socket)
*Compaq Top Tooling 240762-001 (Also black socket)
*GA-6VXE7+ rev 3.0

These boards are only the boards in storage, I didn't count the ones in existing systems 😜
