Does anyone know the model No's? So far I know the 60MHz Pentium is called the 5/60M but was wondering what the others were called. They all use the same backplane and run from the 386 to the pentium.

I've got this that lists the processor cards, but it doesn't give the name:

I've upped the whole Quick Reference Guide here:

Any help appreciated.

Also, some pictures of the motherboard/CPU cards would be great.

I know these Deskpro M series.

for 386 it is like 386/xx
for 486sx is 486s/xx
for 486DX, nothing. Just /xx
yours 5/60 and /66

There are 2 types of i/o boards which is replaceable by sliding out. One is with audio, other one without.
Then there are 3 types of slots boards, one has buffers between slots, other one without, and third is specifically made for Pentium 60/66, IIRC.

Rebuilding power supply if you have one working or not is mandatory. PSU pinout is known and already documented on this Vogons by me. Currently nothing out there spares, only found in working Ms. I had to ship in a Deskpro M 486sx with working PSU from India, Rome.
