Hello everybody. I have found a 486 PC. It's not working, the leaked NiCd battery destroyed quite a lot. The PC is some Vobis Highscreen, but no more information. Chipset is SIS 85C461.- I was quite surprised to be unable to identify the mainboard. Could anyone help?

Besides, what kind of slot is that strange one ISA-VLB in the middle? I cannot identify it either. It was used by a SPEA V7 VEGA video card which looks like a normal VESA card, but with only 8-bit part of ISA and normal VLB, so the slot parts with weird connectors were not in use.

Weird too. Can it be used for L2 cache?
Don't bother with that graphics card. It just lures your thoughts into a wrong direction.
