Bought a motherboard identical to the one in this topic: Re: ALI Socket 3 486 Motherboards
At first, thought it was a Abit PB4 😜
Well, I cant find the manual for this board. Does some one known something about this motherboard? I need the jumper settings.
Google would gave me this hit:
There seems to be also an bios update for your board (for your own risk)

And an IDE driver:

I have updated the first URL with the IDE driver.
~ At least it can do black and white~
Its not a abit PB4 😀
UP 😀
Nothing found, mobo is dead 🙁

Checked all the 486 pages on TH99, couldn't find it. That doesn't mean it's not there though (almost 1am here 😜).
The board does look vaguely familiar though, especially it's small size and the location of it's cache chips.
Could you post some clearer shots of both the front and the back of it? Particularly any markings (also the ones on the ISA slots, those often contain the model number particular of boards of this age).
edit:
Almost forgot
It does look very similar to these 2 boards:

http://www.uncreativelabs.de/th99/m/A-B/33238.htm
but it's not either.
I think pics are your best shot right now since your board won't post (perhaps due to wrong configuration which can be fixed as soon as you find out which board it is)
You can't find the manual for the board?
What is that booklet sitting right next to it?

Ehh...I overlooked that 😊 , but sometimes paper manuals are either missing jumper settings for newer CPUs or are simply wrong (which is while testing I use some "simple" CPU like a DX-33 or a 5v DX2-66).
He really should check all writings on the board, even the ones on the back and possibly anything silkscreened too. Even the date code could help, but it does looks like a board from 95 or so (perhaps 96 seeing how small it is).

The above photo is from ebay.
The actual board is this:
Looks like it's this one

Even after identifying the board, it's impossible to find the manual.
