I managed to get for a restoration a S5 P1 VLB board (Opti Cobra chipset) which seems was prepared for a scrap, has a missing BIOS.
However I was not able to identify the board based on some identification marks, but it's quite similar to the Biostar MB-1500PCT-A.
Any idea pls?

Looks like the Shuttle HOT-543

I'm a bit worried you're missing more than just BIOS though - the power connector is gone too, and those traces around where the battery went look pretty bad. Beautiful, rare board though, so hope you do get it working again!

The power connector I have desoldered.I need to make few repairs on pcb due to a leaked battery.
