Intel 386.
It does not have turbo button so I wonder if there is a key combination to switch between slow and fast
Maybe some other information, like maximum HDD/RAM support etc.

PBA number indicates the 300-SX20 board.

Have a look at this service manual (search for Analyzer 300SX-20) for some basic info

Maybe they've been saved somewhere as part of our Intel archiving drive - anyone?

The board developed the broken image symptoms
Any idea what it could be? It works fine with external VGA card.
I already replaced the Video DRAM chips but it did not help

I have an annoying Pentium Intel board which somehow has pinout for a turbo light, but they decided to leave out the pinout for the button. Idiots. Anyway on that system the only way to toggle it is control alt + or -. The case's turbo button of course doesn't do anything =/

I doubt your board does it but that was Intel's scheme for a while.
