Odd prototype motherboard

[hargle]

Here's a development board that I no longer remember how it came into my possession.


I booted it up today since I'm cleaning house and the specs are:

Pentium Celeron @ 400MHz
ATX power
64MB memory
Phoenix BIOS
3 5.0v PCI slots
1 3.3v PCI slot
3 ISA slots
Onboard video (VGA)
2 COM ports
1 LPT port
PS2 mouse, keyboard ports
LED POST display
reset, sleep/suspend buttons
untested USB ports
and what appears to be 50 pin SCSI?
and what appears to be PCMCIA support?


The board is an unusual size at 12"x15" and has ports hanging off 2 of the 4 sides. It's unlikely to fit in any case you have.



If I had an open benchtop/workspace, this seems like an ideal machine to have around for the ISA as well as PCI support. All the bases are covered.

Anyone interested in it? It needs a forever home.

You forgot VLB, EISA and Microchannel.

 

[hargle]

fine. Most of the bases are covered.

...40% is "most"? :quickexit:

 

[hargle]

jeeze guys. Since I have exactly zero VLB, EISA and MCA cards in my collection, this board covers more than most.

Well, it is a strange board--I wonder if it was part of some industrial setup.

All that means is that your collection is lacking... :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

probably a chipset eval board.
