Help identifying unknow 386 and 486 EISA Motherboards

[Shadow Lord]

Hello everyone,

I was hoping maybe someone would recognize either of these motherboards and could direct me toward jumper/switch settings?

386

The board seems to be working and I have worked out the 4 switch settings for memory size (for the most part...)








486 EISA

If all else fails I can try connecting the board up to a floppy and running the ECU and see what CFG file is missing. Hopefully, then I can match the CFG file to one in mR_Slug's DB.







TIA

The 386SX board was made in USA. That could be early Supermicro or Tyan.

For the EISA board, I don't know. I have seen a similar EISA board from MSI long time ago. But this is not MSI, not ASUS.

Tyan and Supermicro tend to have their name stamped somewhere (I guess it could have been made a non-brand board for a no name clone maker). For the 486 the closest I could find was possibly ECS (specifically ECS EM486/50 (EISA)) based on this one hit for Linux HW. Unfortunately, I can not find any pictures of the board to verify.

Well I posted to Vogons and we had an ID on bothe boards within six hours:

Cache Computers Inc. SX 386-16
Tekram EISA-486C

So Vogons was wrong. The 486 board is not a Tekram board. It is an ECS board. Unfortunately, it is requesting a cfg file (!ECS1020.CFG) that I can not locate. Anyone have a copy of it by any chance?
