Just received a lot of 386 motherboards off ebay - very cheap because it's a mystery lot, no names or specs. One of them I could identify easily, but the other defies me. Perhaps someone here could help me identify it.
Here is the picture, saved from ebay:
It has the following markings:
(front) AT Plus Inc. EV-3000A
(back) PWB-00230-00 REV.E
Has a 386DX-16 socketed, no 387 socket. Chipset is C&T. memory is 4 banks of DIL sockets, all populated with 256k chips, so 1M total. There are 4 BIOS chips, labeled "rev F1-30", U70-U73. Appears to have been at least partially hand assembled as several components (mainly capacitors) seem to have been manually soldered, also there are several resistors hand-soldered on the back as well as several wire bridges. There's a handwritten note glued on it that reads "386 DX-16, 1 meg ram, 128k cache"
Closest matches I could find are these:
http://bk0010.narod.ru/hardware_specs/m/E-H/31584.htm (same disposition of slots, model number close - it's also called the 3000B)
http://bk0010.narod.ru/hardware_specs/m/E-H/31510.htm (same disposition of memory banks and jumpers - except for the serial/parallel ports which are missing)
http://bk0010.narod.ru/hardware_specs/m/E-H/31581.htm (socketed memory, model number close)
That's as far as I could get. If anyone has further info, it would be much appreciated.
