Hello,

Can anybody identify this 486 board? I'm looking for documentation and/or jumper settings.
I have a bunch of 486 CPUs, memory modules and cache chips that I can use to test it.

That Dallas Clock chip spells trouble.

If you mean the dead battery inside the Dallas chip - it's a non-issue to me 😉

Not very helpful, but looks like somebody else has tried to ID this board in the past. Nothing else useful in that link except a similar board that may or may not be related.

I would say to try removing the serial number sticker, in case there's a model number underneath.

Grab a close shot on these jumpers in the corner.

Do you have a DX2 66 ? To test ?

The 2 blue jumpers near the simm sockets are "probably"

for the bus speed. Let say they are configured for 33MHZ.

What CPU's you have there ?

Since the this board is kinda modern 486 board i would say it's configured for 100 or 120MHz CPU.
