Hey all!
After checking the usual suspects turned up nothing I'm trying my luck here. đ
I recently got a very nice 386 motherboard with a custom form factor (ISA riser design). Unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about it. It came without documentation and the seller knows as much (or few) as I do. Some info:
- Board is from 1992
- Has an ET4000 with 1MB on board
- Has 1x floppy and 1x IDE connector on board
- The 40MHz CPU was added by the seller and is wrong since the board has a 66MHz crystal. I swapped it out with a 33MHz 386.
- Says FTK at the bottom right (below the OPTi chip) and on a BIOS chip below the riser slot. It has been suggested to me that this could mean Flytech Technology USA.
- Has a PS/2 keyboard connector
- Don't know about the round connector next to the keyboard. Is that an IR interface? Cash register / storage management / logistics use maybe?
- Red quality control sticker top right corner that says VICTOR.
- AMI BIOS string is 30-0201-D11220-10101111-050591-OPWB-8. Unfortunately the manufacturer code seems to be on none of the lists I checked.
- There is a very similar 486 version of this board, which I also have. It came in a small desktop case. I added a picture of the system but have not documented it thoroughly yet. I doubt that the system is in it's original state as the 52MB Quantum drive is too old for a 486 DX/2 66 and was connected with an UltraATA cable. There are unfortunately no more marks on this 486 board than on the 386 version. At least I am assuming they are "versions" of each other as they are so strikingly similar.
Does anyone have anything on this board? Curious why it says FTK on the board and was apparently QC'd by a VICTOR facility.
Thanks!
Jens
