Not really of help, but this sure is a nice motherboard!
With all these jumpers you may look it there's a board with more or less the same jumper layout and take good measurement
A good sample of another jumper paradise!

like this board a lot !!!

I would say: Shuttle, Biostar, or dataexpert... but my guts say shuttle.

With these old motherboards, I find it pretty weird that it was not completely uncommon that there was zero manufacturer information printed on the silk screens. Sure, many boards were sold with different brand names and that might explain a lot and perhaps there was a sticker at one point in the lowest ISA slot etc, but it is still baffling that some boards pretty much have zero serial codes or other relevant information, not to mention the name of the manufacturer.

OP could check the BIOS string, that at least should tell you the manufacturer.

Hello again, yes, the idea of ​​reading the EPROM is excellent, and I asked a colleague to lend me a reader.
I've made a backup, so I'm uploading it to the post.
Examining the BIOS, it appears to be an NCR SDMS (TM) V3.0 PCI SCSI BIOS, PCI Rev. 2.0 NCRPCI-3.06.00 motherboard.

Thanks for your help.

Although the POST string is
02/07/95-UMC-881/886A-2A4X5R21-00
I'm very confused.

using the TRW bios romcheck tool...

The image contains a normal award bios and also a SCSI bios.

Motherboard manufacturer Rectron ???
BIOS - 2A4X5R21
That manufacturer doesn't ring a bell at all.

Well, the rom isn't listed on TRW. I guess your board isn't either. Feel free to make a submission on the discord. 😀

It's probably from a POS machine or an ATM? That doesn't help you identify the specific motherboard model though...but might explain why not documented well.

No SCSI on board by the way, depsite what the BIOS says

An similar verison was used in a military laptop? https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/ncr … y-laptop.61236/

That BIOS is for add-in SCSI cards with NCR chipset such as the ASUS PCI-SC200 that don't have their own BIOS, many early Pentium motherboards also had this feature.

The SCSI rom part of this mainboard is just that a scsi bios for when a scsi card with a specific ncr chip 53c825 which doesn't have a scsi bios on the scsi card itself is present in the machine to allow booting from scsi.

Rectron is a large scale reseller - www.rectron.co.za - they used to use the logo in the post with the wimsbios screenshot in the past.

Maybe it was customised and branded.

The point of sale guess makes sense, maybe they got a lot of cheap NCR SCSI cards without bioses somewhere and shipped some systems like this.

What I do find strange, though, is the Award 4.50G bios - that usually ships with ISA/VLB boards (G = Green PC). I expect at least a -PG bios for a PCI board (P = Plug and Play, which PCI must do)

Hello again,
Well, I decided to try out the motherboard. But before installing any components, I checked with an ISA PC Analyzer from AliExpress that the voltages were correct. I installed 16MB of FPM RAM, an Intel 486DX2 processor at 5 volts, and without adding anything else, I verified with PC Analyzer that there was data transfer. Afterward, I installed a PCI VGA card and got an image. I'm attaching screenshots of the POST and BIOS.

What's TRW's Discord server? I need to upload the BIOS.

Regards

OK - thanks for the clarification.

Could be, but to me that just looks like your typical desktop late 486 motherboard. It has all the integrated IO and L2 cache which high performance 486 desktop MB did have. The design just isn’t something you usually find in an embedded system like that. This of course doesn’t mean that this MB couldn’t be from one, but then they could’ve chosen pretty much any existing desktop motherboard from the shelf.
