I would guess it's a 486SX 33 or 486DX 33 as well. No idea beyond that, no idea what Acer made.

Yeah. I'm assuming so. Looking forward to pulling it apart. This is like Kinder Surprise for grownups. I hope it's got a sound card in it. The only spare I have is a CT4170, and they sound like arse.

Beige external SCSI Zip drive with PCMCIA adapter. Can be used with either DB25 SCSI or PCMCIA. This should be good for transferring quickly between a PC and my Amiga computers.

Can anybody identify this socket 3 board? Has no manufacturer name on it.
Its in nice shape. No IDE or floppy headers though. Guess I would need an I/O controller, right?

I don't believe "ASY 01-00333- [blank] rev [blank]" is the actual board name. Google doesn't come up with anything.

I bought Pentium 4 Cedar mill last few months ago, which is intel's last mainstream single core unit.
windows 98 compatibility ends with ICH5 (officially), so I struggle to find i865PE + ICH5R with ISA motherboard.
Probably some industrial motherboard is answer.

Careful with this board, I can see 2 leads on one chipset is crushed. Make sure it is not shorted, use high magnification loupe.

Cheers,

Got these two motherboards from a website called Alltronics (can't find the thread about them, did it get deleted/moved?)

Looks like it was deleted. Glad I saved the url 😀

I also bought one "Bad Mother" plus some misc HS and fans, and it all arrived today. Here is the board they sent, a Intel based Soc 7 TX mobo (a psuedo AT with PS/2 KB and PS/2 mouse back so will need special backplate) .
Was a gamble so it may not work but I do spend about $20 a week on lotto tickets and never win so figured this may be a better gamble as for getting a winner 🤣.
Have not tested it yet as it just arrived an hour ago. The back is as clean as the top so if it does not work most likely bad caps or VRM issues....
Did see the broken Soc 7 lever and silicon glue ball near the front panel header. Easy fixes !
EvieSigma: Here is hoping your boards work and mine too !
added: Mines a ECS P5TX BPro v2 motherboard. Have yet to find maker of that 486 board of yours ....being VLB and PCI would be great if you can make it work...

Oh it's not 486, it's a Socket 4 Pentium! Which...I of course do not own any of, I have to buy a CPU and heat sink just to test the board.

I think it could be this one from Free Computer Technology

Oops yeah noticed after I posted about 486, was hard to see in that plastic bag.

This one is a closer match
https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards/2663

Actually there are 3-4 boards that match his board here https://www.ultimateretro.net/en/motherboards … 2:%225%22%7D%5D

I'm sure they're all the same. Only it was sold under several brands and the people that made the schemas on th99 didn't always properly draw the schema.

@Aublack can you turn it on and show us the post screen / dump the ROM ? It'd help identify who exactly made it ^^ (and also eventually help people in the future that miss the bios for this one)

Looks like you already got a few answers, I found this:

But that doesn't match either; yours only has 4 RAM slots not 6.

If you're still looking for make/model on this board, I think it's this one

Cool board indeed. I love the "Made in USA" sticker. 😀

It's under review in the mod section, it'll either come back as locked or be open again.

Got some more ram sticks today. Nothing special, but at least there are some SDR rams, which covers 1997 to 2001 era, that I like a little more.

Bought a Pentium75. Just because this was my first Pentium back in time 😀 A little bit expensive ( 15$ )

Yeah, I noticed. They don't seem to be touching though.

Its pretty close, but you linked the Pent version. I think this is the right one.

https://stason.org/TULARC/pc/motherboards/G/G … 486PCI-135.html

I found some burn marks on the back of the board. I though it was rust or something, but I'm pretty sure something went wrong at one point.

I bought two AMD K6-2+ 350mhz 1.5v CPUs

I guessed that they can probably handle 2.0v as the other K6-2+'s and the 1.5v is just for low wattage mobile? so quite good for oc maybe 😀 Can someone confirm before i blow one x) I have a ss7 board that goes down to 1.8v the rest to 2.0v

@Aublak
I have added your photo to UH19 http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/2663

This doesn't look good unfortunately ... Maybe it's just tantalum caps that caused this and the board is still good ? But I highly doubt that ...
Do you have anything that could be used to dump that bios rom ?

picked up this vintage trinitron for €5 today 😁

feels like it needs new caps though, but the tube is working, I'd date it around 1992/93... didn't find anything on the monitor but the manual talks about anything up to 486 compatibles but not Pentium and TCO'92.
