Intel 386.
It does not have turbo button so I wonder if there is a key combination to switch between slow and fast
Maybe some other information, like maximum HDD/RAM support etc.

PBA number indicates the 300-SX20 board.

Have a look at this service manual (search for Analyzer 300SX-20) for some basic info

Yep it has like three pages with jumpers description only.
It seem to work with 545 (520) MB hdd, does this mean it will work with 2GB CF card?

Maybe they've been saved somewhere as part of our Intel archiving drive - anyone?

The board developed the broken image symptoms
Any idea what it could be? It works fine with external VGA card.
I already replaced the Video DRAM chips but it did not help

I have an annoying Pentium Intel board which somehow has pinout for a turbo light, but they decided to leave out the pinout for the button. Idiots. Anyway on that system the only way to toggle it is control alt + or -. The case's turbo button of course doesn't do anything =/

I doubt your board does it but that was Intel's scheme for a while.

Ordered the WD chip on eBay already.
Is there a program that can verify video memory?
I just want to ensure that the ram is okay before I replace the GPU chip
