Greetings,

I am seeing some help identifying this 486 socket 3 motherboard I have. I've included a photo of the mb itself and the ram. The ram I have is 8MB total and is made by Kingston. Maybe my ram isn't compatible? I bench tested the MB with a Trident ISA card installed just to see if it would post; and it doesn't. The AT power supply kicks on but no video appears on my CRT. There are several jumpers all over the place and I have a feeling something is not set right. I purchased this MB off of ebay along with some other stuff and it "should be" a working but who knows....Been trying to track down a manual but I've had no long. Thanks in advance for any help!

I just discovered that on the back of the board it states on the bottom: "LITE ON 20V0 9517". I'm guess the 9517 is the 17th week of 1995? There's also a serial number: 419045149867. It is made in China.

Hats off to you sir. Thank you. I'm new to putting a system like this together...What kind of RAM does it require?
