Hi all.
I'm turning to the community with a request to help identifying a motherboard that I have recently acquired. It's got i386 sx CPU but there are no specific markings to identify it. Google lens only found one other board similar to this one but I was unable to get any info on it as it was an old eBay listing in a different country. Any help would be appreciated, I'd really love to see some documentation for this board.
Cheers.

Thank you very much for that, luckybob. The board does seem to be somewhat obscure, there's not much info on it. It's a simple board anyway, shouldn't be too difficult figuring out the few jumpers it has. Thanks again for your help!

Much more urgent than figuring out some jumpers is the removal of that old Varta battery.

You are lucky this is no real VARTA, just some less destructive brand.

Yes, luckily the damage is minimal. Almost no leakage/damage at all actually. I agree, this looks very mild compared to other cases I've seen, including yours, Aui. It's promptly getting replaced. Couldn't find any external battery pins so will get a new one with same values/rechargeable. Thanks again.

I mean, with that large circle on the silk screen and the retro web picture having a button battery, it should be relatively trivial to install a 2032 battery holder.

@luckybob Yeah, it wouldn't be difficult to get that in with a ML2032 battery. Thanks again.
