Hi All,

I was hoping someone could help me identify this motherboard as I need to find out the jumper configs. Not sure if it works but I have a 486dx50 that I could stick in it.
The only marking on the board are LILI429-v1.2

Thanks in advance.

The DX50 should work without issues on that board, it's a 5V chip. Worst case, it'll run at a lower speed (make sure it's in the right orientation, watch the corner).
You will also need 2 more sticks of RAM, preferably the same size as the one you have on the board (or replace them with other 4 identical sized sticks).

As for identifying the board, it will be very useful if you could dump the BIOS (or make a photo of the boot screen, so I can read the post string).
Let me know if you succeeded.

I couldn't find my 486dx50 but had a 486sx25 lying around, so I took a gamble and put that in....

It posts! running at 33mhz.

POST string points to a Olystar LIL1429 (with Seritech AMI code), unfortunately this is all I can find about it at the moment.
I'll do some more digging and hopefully find a jumper sheet or something.

Much appreciated. I threw in a 486dx66 and that is been detected correctly and works perfectly. So no need to find jumper setting as I will leave it as is . Just need to find a case and it will be as good as gold.

Cheers
