Hello. Here are a few motherboards that I have lying around here in Saxony, Germany. Postage is at cost and I'll send anywhere in principle, although it may not be economical to all places. Local people are welcome to come in person and I'll happily show them working before you buy. All are tested and work fine. Just the board included as show in the images.

1. Octek Fox M 286 Rev 1.1 from 1990. Very clean condition, including 1mb RAM in DIP chips and an AMD 16mhz CPU. Very slight battery leakage had affected the + battery trace on the board and this has been fixed, see images, but it's probably best to plug a battery into the 4 pin header. All functioning as it should, the image of the screen shows it just booted into DOS. Price: 39 EURO

2. PCChips M571 rev 3.2A. A nice Socket 7/Super Socket 7 board that can handle a lot of different socket 7 CPU's (some modifications may be necessary for the faster ones, I haven't tried the various voltages and instead tested it with a Pentium 133Mhz. Has on board Video and Audio (but no cables, just the MoBo). In the past someone has yanked too hard on the socket lever and this can be pulled back almost flat, but it doesn't affect operation. Price: 19 EURO.

3. Chaintech 5VLM M101. Socket 7 board, a little less versatile that number 2, but it works and has also been tested with my P133. The 72 pin RAM sockets have a little damage to the plastic, but do hold sticks sufficiently. Price: 12 EURO.

4. Biostar MB-8500TVX Rev 2.2. Socket 7 board. The heat sink on the regulator bottom right is not original! It works and is perfectly stable. The regulator to the left doesn't get warm at all, at least it doesn't with my P133 test CPU, but may do in other configurations. Board has a handy PS/2 Mouse socket next to the keyboard socket (so may not fit in all cases). Price 10 EURO.

The other 3 boards are sold now, so this thread can eventually (once the buyers have confirmed receipt perhaps) be deleted.
 
I've received the 286 board and it's running happily with 4MB of memory right now.
