I recently purchased this beautiful 80286-motherboard. Unfortunately I couldn't find out much about it yet.
It has a SUNTAC ST62C241 chipset.

The attachment my board.jpg is no longer available

Can anybody identify this board? Or maybe even provide a manual or a BIOS-file? 😀
Thank you for reading.

MBA-014 says MiTAC, however the board is marked SIGMA.

We have 2 boards with a matching layout in Ultimate Retro

And a complete thread about Suntac 80286 boards here:

If you manage to identify it (when booting giving the bios string etc) we would love to know what it is so we can add it to Ultimate Retro.

Hello Evasive,

it has been a long time but today I finally found the time to fiddle with this board again.

It POSTed and I took some pictures for you.
Unfortunately there isnt much of a BIOS ID-string as we know them from later motherboards. This is the POST-screen:

The BIOS itself looks rather sparse too:
This is the BIOS-Screen after pressing CTRL-ALT-ESC:

Is there anything that I can do to help you identify this motherboard?
