It's Probably SOME variation of the VIA EPIA line, but not one I know of. Not sure what the VT133 on the NB heatsink means but I guess it's a PLE133T? Reported as having 800MHz CPU so probably a C3 eden. Sounds like it would make a fantastic mITX DOS build with a lot of SETMUL flexibility..
For a while I was considering getting a similar tiny VIA system, too. But in the end I decided against it because I don't see much use for a retro-machine with so few slots.
How are you planning to use it?
The best use I could think of getting out of it would be to throw it into a modern mITX case and build a reverse sleeper mITX DOS PC. Sounds like a fun project but I'm pretty sure the novelty would wear off prett wast. Also not sure if that's worth doing considering I already have this:
So yeah, still haven't managed to completely sell myself on the idea, don't expect me to do it for you 🤣
