Anyone familiar with this board?
Is it a good model?
Looks like I have found another early example of an ASUS board.

Has an SiS 85C461 chipset.
I know SiS chips are not always anything special alot of the time, with a few exceptions.

I can't comment on the board's intrinsic fitness, but I can say that it's missing a BIOS chip, so you will need to source one of those and a compatible BIOS dump to program it with in order to get the said board working .

EDIT: The battery or battery holder has been removed as well, so you will need to address that as well .

Sorry, i should have said that i have been in the middle of cleaning the board, and have removed all the chips, cleaned battery corrosion and need to replace the IC socket that holds the keyboard chip.
Got onto this board in the nick of time before the battery took care of it! The board does work, but some pins on the keyboard socket are eaten away, so the keyboard did not work properly, im confident this should fix it, as i dont see any damaged traces around there.
