correct, the bios chip is missing.

this layout is not known in TRW so that cannot help.

The photo quality is not good enough to see any markings that may identify the board. This is going to be a real challenge.

Well in my opinion, what you think is the BIOS chip (in the photo), it is actually the BIOS chip of the keyboard, the real BIOS chip is not there, it should be between the two square chips, one is a chips.

Agree with PC@LIVE.
BIOS should be in this empty DIL28 socket.
