Hi guys
I recently found these in the loft, I've had them since the mid 90s when I had a computer shop in the UK

They are office clip boards made from what look like old motherboard PCBs. I have two of them both identical.

I guess they are from about 1994-95 and I can't remember how or where I got them but they may have been promotional gifts at the time.

They are now back in use in my new workshop.

Anyway I wondered what sort of motherboard these are so I just googled the only ID number I can see on the boards - DT-PCI2, but nothing relevant comes up.

I'm sure they must be real motherboard PCBs, not something originally made to be clip boards

Any ideas?

Rich

Interesting board. Unless I'm mistaken that's an So4 board, with onboard SCSI and a little CMI-640 IDE controller. Given 3-chip chipset solution I suspect SiS 501 chipset.

Ctrl-F "DT-PCI 2" for a small picture of it.

Ahaa I was sure you guys would work it out. I guess someone must have had a surplus of these boards unpopulated and they were made into clip boards in the 90s
