I've got two motherboards here, I would like to trade both for working Slot 1 board. Must have AGP and not intrested in OEM boards, other than that I'm not picky.
The first is what I believe is an NOS TOP Microsystems 386 Motherboard. Its in fantastic condition, I can't find a single flaw defect, scratch or scrap on the entire board or any evidence its ever been used aside from normal levels of dust accumulation considering its at least 30ish years old. I'm unable to test it because I don't have any 386 CPUs on hand (and TBH pre-ATX stuff isn't my area of expertise), but I assume it works fine. Here are some pictures: https://imgur.com/a/QurwE8B
The second is an unidentified Super Socket 7 ATX Motherboard that does not seem to want to work. It has an AMP (I'm just going off notations for similar power circuit designs on TH99) that is cracked in half and the capicator directly after that is leaking, there is also sometype of white residue on the back of the board that I can't identify, doesn't look like any mold or corrosion I've ever seen. I suspect its spiderweb residue. When I found it it was jumpered for 83x4.5@2.2V's which means it had a mid-range K6-2 of some sort on it, I've jumpered it down for a P-MMX 166 to test it. The CPU doesn't even get hot, if you replace that part called AMP and recap those two caps (which are the only two buldging) I suspect the board would work. As it stands I doubt the CPU is getting power. When attempting to power on all it does is turn the PSU fan on, the fan I had plugged into the fan header doesn't even spin up. Its overall a very nice board with 2 USB ports, AGP, 4 PCI, and 3 ISA. It's design is extremely similar to the Gigabyte G5-AX and it may even be some derivative of it. I can include 128MB of memory and a Pentium 90 on request. It was bought off another local collector who said he pulled it from another PC and it was already missing its CPU at that time.
I'm wanting to do more early 3D testing and I need something suitable for that, and I consider a Slot 1 board ideal for that since Super Socket 7 is somewhat pricy (though if you have one you want to trade away obviously I would be open to that).
