I have a 8088 motherboard with floppy drive, serial and paralell ports integrated and maybe clock (it has a battery). I can read the text BONDWELL BW 38 VER 1.3 but I couldn't find any reference.
It has 10 DIP switches in the back. Anyone knows what settings are controled by them? I can't get the board to output video or a simple beep.
 
Hi!

I have the same problem, so far I have figured out that Dip 5 sets RAM to 512 or 640 and Dip 6 enables and disables buildt in Floppy controller
I had one in 86-87 and I know thay some are for setting waitstates for ram, one is for enable 8087 and i THINK one is for choosing color or monochrome videocard.

My default setting were 0100001001, I turned floppy controller off so now I use 0100011001
I dont have a 8087 in it so I havent been looking fore that dip yet...
