Some days ago i recycled some scratched and bad Copam AT 286 desktop cases i never had inspected. Had 3 of them, but inside two there were 486 motherboards so they had been upgraded sometime. The boards looks like they were made by Aopen, but i have found nothing on them on the web. The number 93112-1m PI-1 M.B gives nothing on search.
Anyone seen this motherboard before? One odd thing is the molex power connector they have.

The attachment Aopen_486_mb.jpg is no longer available

AOpen was an Acer subsidiary. The A on the left does look like the AOpen logo, but the board is not an AP4 or AP43.

Is there an FCC id anywhere? Maybe a sticker on the back of the board? Have you booted it up to see if the BIOS displays the model or the board or the computer it belonged to?

No sticker on backside. Must find an AT psu and see if they boot up and also check if they are OK anyway.
