Retro rig 2: Intel DX2 66, SB16 Ct1740 and Cirrus Logic VLB.

It would help if we could read the markings on the VIA chips at least. I see an integrated PC speaker and what looks like an ATI rage pro integrated? This looks like an OEM pull. More and better pictures would help. What are you trying to do with it?

I was going to say it's an intel design thanks to the single line front panel headers and the part code, but apparently eMachines do the same, so it's an "eMachines 300245 Socket 7 Delhi-iii System Board" 😁

...and if the usual keys mentioned above fail, keep a key pressed during post. It'll probably not like this and tell you how to enter bios to "fix" it 😉

I just checked the dip switch. Now i can acess the bios menu at CMOS error at boot screen (The battery holder is bronken). I still can't access the menu at E manchine logo. Also the menu is AMIBIOS with the later 486 boards interface.

On some eMachines you have to hit Tab or Alt+Tab at the splash screen, then it will allow you to enter the BIOS with F2 or Delete key.

Tried all combinations still not working. The keyboard works fine in other machines

even though that page is in Korean (I never got to translating it), there's "DEL for Setup" in there. If it does not react at all on the keyboard you may want to check the fuse near the keyboard connector. Or accept that there may have been a reason it got sent to the recycling center.
