Does anyone know the model of this server motherboard? 😕

Micronics. There is a part-no on it, but our photo is too bad.
Going by the IBM sticker on it, it could be from a 1994 "IBM PC Server" - https://books.google.com.au/books?id=fy_G-xlQ … Q6AEwEnoECAcQAQ
Of that range, it would probably be the IBM PC server 300, Hardware Maintenance Manual is at http://www.mcamafia.de/pdf/server_hmm_s30h2501_01.pdf - motherboard layout diagram at https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/I/I … PE-8640-OP.html
The layout seems more like the M5PE - http://www.uncreativelabs.de/th99/m/M-O/31945.htm - but with the auxiliary power connector
Thank you very much 😀
Possible to mount it in an AT case?
Micronics M5Pe (OEM)
It looks like it's Full AT
All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder
Thanks, is it worth to collect it?
Does it support other CPUs except Pentium/60 ?
Lools like the fastest CPU natively supported is the P66 as the board uses the Intel 430LX Mercury chipset. According to IBM's withdrawn server specs - http://psref.lenovo.com/syspool/Sys/PDF/withd … book/swbook.pdf - you can add a P5T Pentium Overdrive (socket 4, looks like 133MHz max - http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium/Intel-P … 0PODP5V133.html). This could be very hard to find, but others here might know how to source one.
Overall it might be a bit expensive to max out this board to its top spec, and get a case and PSU for it too, but it would be something unusual to own. Plenty of older games could run on the P60/66. Also, bonus is you can use PCI, EISA or ISA cards.
Do you already have a Pentium era setup or would this fill a gap in your lineup? Is the seller asking a lot for it?
Thanks, how much does it worth?

Socket 4 boards are rare/sought-after, Pentium EISA boards too - but the huge form-factor will be a turn-off. Whatever anyone is prepared to pay.
