Hi, I am trying to identify a motherboard in an older unit, the board has no identifying marks as to the maker. It has Phoenix bios so I can't use the bios to ID it either. I know that there is a Web site that will tell you the manufacturer if you have the product id #. Can anyone give me the name of the Web site or any other things I can do to ID the board?? It is an AT board for Pentium class CPU, socket 7, Markings: V30 MB 74137-1

If it was in a PC you could use a free program which identifies your hard & software installed... http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html or www.sisoftware.co.uk

Thanks guys, but I guess I should have mentioned that I have tried both already. Bios Wizard will not give the ID and Belarc only gives a R1.03 in the board description.
Thanks anyway, I guess ill toss a description of the components in the motherboards.org forum and see if the gurus there can figure it out.

I came accross that board about 3 years ago and it's made by Acer believ it or not. I don't many were made as it seems pretty obsolete.
