I can't figure out my 486 motherboard Specs.....no identifiers

[Siberian_Ice]

Greetings.

A while ago I purchased a 486 motherboard. I am unable to identify the specs on the board. To me, there are absolutely no identifiers such as a number or a label.
The board looks to me as an old Packard Bell or Compaq. I mean specifically how the board is arranged. I needed to purchase a Riser Card; I found a Compaq one which plugs right in. Hower, I also needed memory. I purchased two separate batches of some 30-pin memory. (I know I am shooting in the dark without knowing it’s type… but I had nothing to lose) and neither were the correct size. So…50.00 gone.
The board original came with a 486SX…25MHz I think. I purchased a 486DX 33MHz to replace it with.
Ok, back to the board. I see “Tandy Corp” but nothing else really. I took pics showing what I am hoping to turn out OK.

g’day and welcome to the forum.

Ok, right off the bat, I’ve gotta ask - why on earth are you trying to resurrect a 30 year old board?
do you have some legacy software or hardware that needs that particular spec?

sadly, all I see in your future is old used parts, incompatibility issues, and no return on investment.

but, yeah, I see no identifying marks to give away make/model.
any info underneath?

The first pic is of the underside of the board…the “Tandy Corporation” info.
Why you ask… I have a Commodore 64, grew up with it, love it! This 486 board is the “Average” of it’s day. I have a ton of games and software for it. I just like the look of this board; besides, I already made the custom case. My VCR is from 1979…I just love nostalgia.

Have you downloaded Speccy? This may give you that information.
