Anyone know what PC this motherboard has come out of? I can't seem to find it on Theretroweb. It does not look like standard AT or ATX, so I doubt it can be put in anything except maybe a custom made case? So I guess it's from some kind of OEM? Compaq or HP maybe? Doesn't look like IBM to me.. Have …

Hello everyone, I was recently given an old Digital HiNote CS475 laptop from an older client.

I got it to power on but a password screen appeared after the system …
