Can't see any identifiers, but the layout screams "FIC" to me. Doesn't match with any FIC boards I can find though...

Wow, looking at tracks around the chips it sure does look like they all are fully pin compatible with each other? 😮
PCB looks identical, tracks identical
SiS 85C471 https://theretroweb.com/chip/documentation/85 … 87929110712.pdf
OPTi 82C895 no datasheet
VT82C496G https://dosdays.co.uk/media/via/VIA_82C496G.pdf

SiS 85C407 no datasheet
OPTi 82C602 Data Buffer/RTC https://theretroweb.com/chip/documentation/82 … 0c176149873.pdf
VT82C416 pins inside VT82C570M datasheet https://datasheetspdf.com/pdf-file/843974/VIA/VT82C570M/1

but pinouts dont patch neither between 85C471 and VT82C496G nor VT82C416 and 82C602. What gives?

Perhaps an elaborate effort to sell some knock off chips? It's not the only time this has happened right?

Dump that bios...

I can find that board for sale on a German site, but can't find any documentation for it anywhere.... still looking though.

Finding a good number of "very similar"486 boards, both with that VIA VT82C496G (Pluto) chipset and not.

Hate it when jumper settings are not printed right on the board. 🙁
