Evening, gentlemen!
I just put in an eBay order to finally fill out my 486DX2 system and get it up and running. She's going to run a Cyrix 486DX2-50 (hopefully) with a VLB Mach32 2MB for video, 90MB of SCSI HDD storage, an AWE32 CT3990 on sound, and a whole pile of other I/O controllers.
My 'problem' is that the motherboard I have right now isn't documented anywhere. This is the board in question:

...and contrary to the manual (and original box I received it in), it is not a Green-A 4GPV4. I wish it was. I'm assuming I have some cheap chinese clone board, but it seems to be reasonably well built. 4FVAD is silkscreened on the lower left corner, but there is no identifying information anywhere else on the board.
Any ideas as to what exactly this motherboard might be? I ask, because I'd like to find documentation on the jumper setup, rather than just swap things around 'till it either works, or it blows up my 486. I haven't powered it up yet; I'm still waiting for my AT power supply to get here, but I'm already surfing around for a slightly better motherboard since I don't have much faith in this properly running my VLB video card with a 50Mhz CPU, if it even supports that speed at all.
Any thoughts? Anyone ever seen this particular board before?
