Hi,
Can anyone help me identify my 286 motherboard (attached photos) and probably find the manual for it? I bought it from eBay in early 2016 but only decided to try it now, after almost 2 years! It was sold in working conditions, with 2MB RAM onboard (the board apparently caters for a maximum of 4MB, so around 50% of the memory sockets are empty). It has a 12.5MHz 80286 CPU and a 80287 co-processor. The few identifications I can find that could even be remotely useful are the following:
(1) 910/900(12) PB87011-3A. MADE IN TAIWAN (R.O.C) on the front
(2) CADAC CMVO-1 2089 at the back
The board has no output pins for the PC speaker, just a cheap soldered piezzo buzzer. There is no CMOS battery socket on board, and I cannot identify any Dallas RTC. 3 other ICs on the board are labelled as "U41-2" (near the BIOS), "U72-2' and "U68-2", obscuring the original part number. There are a few other connection headers, which I am hoping could be the CMOS battery input or the PC speaker output.
The board also seems to have a few patches such as jumpered wires or capacitors hand-soldered across pins, which look rather unprofessional.
Any advice is appreciated. I am trying to find the manual before I attempt to power it on.
Thanks.
