Hello!

some time ago i bought this motherboard online that is very uncommon. It is the only one i have seen in many years around here. For me is uncommon because it has : [universal AGP] + [ISA slots] + [PCI slots] + [short size]

it was produced by Jetway and the model is 694CS
I have not been able to find much info online, i dont think jetway has all the infor of their motherboards like MSI and ASUS does.

when checking the board i found out that someone touched it and replaced some parts on it. So i am not really what did they fix and what they were trying to do, and if they followed the original capacitor values.

If anyone knows about electronics please comment what did they do here! i would like to know!
I also would like to know if someone has the same board if they can tell me all the original capacitor values.

Those small components are SMD fuses. Most likely for keyboard and USB ports. Shouldn't be critical for the board to work. But i wonder why were they replaced, maybe just some faulty USB device was plugged in.

Similar small board is Chaintech 6via5t if you are interested in finding more like this one.

Did you try turning it on? Voltage is most important with the capacitors because if they are underrated they may blow. Other parameters like capacity and ESR determine stability of system. There are 3.3v, 5v and 12v lines on motherboard, cpu power line and other less important lines. Capacitors should also have some tolerance calculated. So 6.3V caps could be connected to 3.3V line or cpu Vcore, 10V caps to 5V line, 16V caps could be connected to 12v line. Of course it may vary a bit. Sometimes 6.3V caps will go to 5V line or you will see more than 16V caps. If you have a multimeter you can check which caps are connected to which pin in ATX connector (or to CPU Vcore pin). If they are within range the mainboard at least shouldnt blow up (actually it shouldnt blow unless caps are installed in reverse - that would be a problem).

Maybe it was profesionally recapped and it will be fine.

The manual is at http://download.jetway.com.tw/download/manual/694CS.rar
A BIOS (they only have one online) can be found at http://download.jetway.com.tw/download/bios/694cs/
They don't have a directory for drivers specific to this board, but all their drivers can be found at http://download.jetway.com.tw/download/driver/

I can't help more than that.

See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.

I love those mATX builds! This is the motherboard from my current P3 build, an Acorp 6VIA82P:

I chose it specifically because of it's small size and wide compatibility due to having ISA, PCI, and AGP. Retro PCs tend to be large affairs, so to save room I needed a board that would fit into this case:

The IN-WIN Development Inc mATX Desktop Case is small enough to fit inside an Ikea shelving cube [323 x 140 x 322 mm (12.7” x 5.5” x 12.7”)], and while it makes for a snug size I managed to fit a lot of good hardware in my build:

*** SYSTEM SPECS ***
Motherboard: Acorp 6VIA82P mATX: (1) 2x AGP, (3) 32-bit PCI, (1) ISA
CPU: Intel Pentium III 800EB Mhz
RAM: 512MB PC133 CL2
Ports: PPA Int'l PCI Combo Card SATA, USB 2.0 & FireWire (1325)
HDD: 1x 2GB DOM, 1x 127GB HDD, 1x 4GB CF
CDROM: Plextor PX-708A
Floppy: 1.44MB
Video: Voodoo3 3000 AGP
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster AWE64 Gold w/28MB RAM
Diamond MonsterSound MX300 w/Yamaha DB50XG
Roland Sound Canvas SC-55
Roland CM-32L emulation via MUNT on external PC

On the DOM I run MS-DOS 6.22, and on the HDD I have Windows Me installed, since it gives me USB support out of the box and a more stable kernel. I switch between the two at boot via System Commander 7.0. My 4GB CF card I use to host CD images, which I mount via the last windows 9x release of Daemon tools.

The case was packed full, as you can imagine, even with rounded IDE cables to improve airflow. I had to cut a four inch hole over the card slots to mount an external fan to keep it from overheating. I'm traveling at the moment, so no pix of the build available until I return.

Overall I am quite happy with it. I can slow the build down and disable caches no problem to run games as old as Space Quest III and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis. Or I can run late 90s games with full A3D support like Thief: The Dark Project.

Good luck with your build!

EDIT: I've recently acquired an MT-32 as well but it is not presently hooked up to this build.
