Hello everyone,

I gave it some thought whether I should start a new SNB-M008-thread or not because there already are two SNB-M008-related threads:
BIOS for SNOBOL MINI 286 needed SNB-MOO8
and
Need some info on a 286/16 SNB-M008 mobo

I read them both from beginning to end but it has been 1321 days in the first and 570 days in the second now since anybody posted something there.

Enough preface/ introduction. Lets start 😀:

First of all we are talking about this motherboard:

It is in near perfect condition aside from one damaged SIMM-Socket (broken latch), but luckily the SIMM-module in this socket is always being detected and works fine.
Onboard are at the moment 1MB RAM in eight 41C4256 Chips. If I add four 1MB-SIMMs, the board will run with a total of 5MB RAM with the jumper configuration in this picture.

The board has a GST Gold GS62C101 / GS62C102 chipset.

My board has an AMI-BIOS, version 3.03NP. I did a bios-dump for this motherboard:

I directly got it from the boards bios-chip, a 27C512AK-15.

I also found a manual online. It can be downloaded here:

Or here:

My board also has an empty DIL-14 socket (U50), presumably (from what I read in the other threads mentioned above) for a 74F74-flip flop that was present in older board revisions. Maybe I will test it with a 74F74 later on but at the moment I see no need to do that.

So far so good.

I read the manual. In chapter 7: "EMS Driver Set up", page 15 of the manual:

it says that GS04EMM.SYS is required to use EMS.

Unfortunately I couldn't find this file anywhere.
I have several questions:
The description-page for this board on Retroweb (https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/snobol-snb-m008) says,
that this board has a Headland GC101,GC102-chipset.

Question 01: The chips on my board say "GST Gold GS62C101 / GS62C102". Is this identical to the Headland GC101,GC102-chipset?

Question 02: If the Headland GC101,GC102 and the GST Gold GS62C101 / GS62C102 are the same: Does anybody have an EMS-Driver?

Question 03: If not: Does anybody have a GST Gold GS62C101 / GS62C102-EMS-Driver? 😉

Question 04: Does the HT12(A)-chipset-driver work for the Headland GC101/GC102-chipset?

Thank you very much. 😀
