Never seen such motherboards with only 1 (ISA? VSA?) slot? Anybody knows? Looks pretty expensive http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-386DX-25-A80386- … me=STRK:MESE:IT to me.

If I had to wager a guess, I'd suggest it might have been part of a retail POS system or maybe a telephone PBX...something like that. With only 4x 30-pin SIMM slots for RAM I doubt it was part of a server, but there is a SCSI interface on there so...who knows. Googling the part numbers doesn't reveal much.

It's neat to look at but probably not very useful.

EDIT: I did a little more digging for those part numbers, it seems like I might have been right and it was part of a SIEMENS PBX system.
