Did they use Dallas RTC in 386?
I have 3 systems and all 3 rely on external battery. No CMOS onboard.

Edit: ah yeah there it is, I see it now; Never seen one on a 386. Probably it's dead yes. Socketed or soldered?

Now that is a big honking 386. 386s that rely on DIP RAM instead of SIMMs are quite early and rare. I think the board you have there might actually be from Intel...a later revision of one of the first 386 boards ever made. It's also possible that it's a DTK or an Arche.

How do I find information on the board? I have googled and researched, but I have not found much on the motherboard to be able to identify it.

Check the bios string?

THe board looks very similar to this one:

The CPU and NPU are slightly different. But I would say they all are derived from the same original design. There are some more like this on stason.org. You might want to check there. So maybe they are all clones of an original Intel design, as mentioned before.

Is this an ebay find or a find find? as its definitely awesome

This is a yard sale find and I agree it is awesome. I could never afford the components off of eBay. It even has the Northgate omn ikey 102 keyboard.

386-BIOS 1987 AMI by Northgate Computer Systems version 3.20

Interesting...it's Northgate. Northgate was pretty expensive stuff. Looks like you even have the Northgate Omnikey keyboard that came with it. I think that alone might be worth at least $100. Why does the case LED say 20MHz if it has a 25MHz CPU? Maybe it was a reject?
According to the ICs on your board, it's likely from 1989 or 1990.

Yes, it is Northgate. The guy who had it said he worked for IBM and told me how much he had invested in it. It is a very nice system.

Worked for IBM and had a Northgate? Traitor. I bet if management knew they would've canned him.
