Hello everyone.
I managed to find this SOCKET 3 motherboard that is fully functional but doesn't have any serial number to identify it by. I've tried to use AIDA32 in Windows 95 but it doesn't detect the motherboard name or the manufacturer.
Maybe someone in this community has encountered the board and knows more about it.
I must mention that I also didn't manage to find its manual giving the current matter.
Hi, When the system boots, it displays a long string of numbers and letters in the bottom of the screen. Could you reply with that? (take a picture of it). Most of the time that will give the info to identify the board. You can use the Scroll lock/Break key to pause the system on that screen to give you time for taking a photo. Press the Enter key and the system will continue to boot.
Looks a little like the Gemlight GMB-486APS, though it isn't a 100% match. The Gemlight seems to use an ALi chipset as well, so it's possible your board is a different revision?

Life isn't long enough to re-enable every hidden option in every BIOS on every board... 🙁
I came up with the same board that eep386 posted. its like you have a rev 1.1 (or similar) and the one online is 1.0 There are WAY too many similarities to discount.
almost all the jumpers match in location and label.
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
This is indeed the right board to me http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/2599
The official Gemlight manual is available and confirms some more details.
The rev in "stason" (aka TH99) is just the manual's rev (confirmed by the gemlight manual), not PCB rev.

Thank you very much! This is indeed what I was looking for so yea, thanks again.
