Were there any other photos on that listing, like POST screen photos, etc ?

as a matter of fact there were:

The attachment 386mobo2.jpg is no longer available
The attachment 386mobo3.jpg is no longer available

the second picture doesn't really show anything, but does that string under the bios help?

yep that's the same as I linked above, we already concluded that j-mark = jetway I guess ^^

I just fixed the board graphic and then foolishly closed it without saving properly... but yeah it seems to fit well apart from being too spaced out on the graphic as I said, though I could not find "JP6" on the photo of the board.

Thanks ! The first photo was the most useful. In it there's the "POST string" (that "30-0201-ZZ1762-00101111-070791-OPWB-F" thing) which gives some details about the board and among them, the brand.

Oddly enough, this one "says" that this board have been sold by "ansoon technology co.". Now both Jetway and Ansoon were taiwanese companies, so they may be related or even be different names for the same company, we've seen that before far too often x)

The reason why evasive posted the link to the "same" motherboard is because it's the UH19 link, which is better than any other TH99/stason clone (checkout my signature for more details 😀 )

yeah I know ^^ I think it wasn't fully up yet when I made this thread and I specifically avoided linking to s***** ^^

🤣 @evasive, this really is confusing.

Yeah it's been up since late august 2020, but looking back at my posts from back then, you can guess that I was onto something 😁

Great that you avoided stason 😀 (I didn't 🤦)

Hello,
by chance among packs of documents I found the original manual for a Skyscraper ARC 386s User's Guide dating back to 1987. Can it be of use?

Ciao
If you are interested, I have several PC motherboards in my collection, and some paper manuals, for example that of a DFI CB61, lately I have extracted the BIOS from the chips of non-working motherboards, if you want on my Vogons page there is a lot about it, if you want to look, I can add images and files that you will not find on "retroweb".

AMD 286-16 287-10 4MB HD 45MB VGA 256KB
AMD 386DX-40 Intel 387 8MB HD 81MB VGA 256KB
Cyrix 486DLC-40 IIT387-40 8MB VGA 512KB
AMD 5X86-133 16MB VGA VLB CL5428 2MB and many others
AMD K62+ 550 SOYO 5EMA+ and many others
AST Pentium Pro 200 MHz L2 256KB

Yes ! Pictures of the motherboards jumpers pages (appendix B1 to B5 ?) would be great !

Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun
