I found the most very first Pentium setup - socket 4

As someone posted before, I believe this could be the memory setup related, try filling all the SIMM slots (with same modules), or move these to slots 1+2 or 3+4 (not 2+4 like now).

Some MoBo's will never post without CMOS battery.

There is old hardware and there is ancient hardware, this is one of them. That battery it's a miracle it didn't eat trough the trace lines

I had a similar board with a VLB for the Pentium. Very rare, but unfortunately damaged. For this ceramic Pentium 60Mhz is a surprise !

A miracle there isn't more corrosion from the barrel battery.

The VGA board is shining! Amazing!

I had exactly the same video card on my 486. It was a great card, and after I maxed out the memory, it could played everything I throwed at it. I even played Quake under Win95 with 48M of RAM and it was limited only by the AMD 5x86, even overclocked at 150MHz. I played Anno 1602, RA C&C, Heroes 2, Caesar, MAX, NFS Porsche, Starcraft, and I was the only one that used 1024x768 with 24bit color on Win95 desktop. On my opinion, it was almost on par with S2Trio PCI that I had on my Pentium when I upgraded.

Pentium is a 64-bit bus CPU, you need to put two 32-bit 72-pin SIMM's on each bank.

Very calming and relaxing Thank you

What a cool find! I'm jealous :D. I hope you can get it working!

I did not know there was a non-gold topped Socket 4 Pentium. Very interesting find! Now, test with a 120MHz OverDrive!

Too bad it didn't boot. But don't give it up👍Very beautiful board. The one and only socket 4 Board I have is this Intel Batman one. I didn't even knew there are Pentium Boards without PCI bus.

Dobre dávaš temu angličtinovy. Ešte že ovládam modernú angločeštinu. :D

All i can say is my old 486 hates the POST tester and of course you may know old motherboards won't work properly without a functioning battery, which it could be, though in my experience they seem to work fine..but you never know :P otherwise contact cleaner in slots may solve issue, none the less a nice save! mine was just about to reach the solder joints but thankfully wasn't trace level..however i bought an entire PC just to save it and accidentally won it, it stays until i find case for K6 DOS PC :)

This is WILD. Looks absolutely alien compared to my first Pentium 60.

That's a crazy awesome find

the ram needs to be in the same bank... so next too each other....... its a 32bit adressing system....

Wow. Great find.

classic my favorite era of computers

looks like you cleaned it right before the battery got really bad.

The problem with testing a system like this is that there are so many unknowns. All the parts and components should be tested verify that are in working condition. To test the parts you need have a good working computer test them in so that you can screen out defective parts. I wish you the best of luck in your adventure or nightmare!!

excelente video, es una delicia

Pentium without PCI is indeed strange. (p.s. I saw that rage fury MAXX just casually sitting there)

Did you check the RAM on a different board? Check the cache and the jumpers. That board could be OK!

The first gen Pentium is the most interesting if you ask me. Too bad that the board was dead. :(

Very interesting vídeo, I want to buy it hahaha

Dudee show us your workshop and workshop tour you have alot of interesting hardwares😮😮😮❤

The POST codes are 12 13 00 (and NOT 13 12 00 13). Note that when you had the IDE controller, you got up to the bootloader (code 00) and the POST sequence stopped at 13 when you omited it. That mobo did not have any I/O onboard so it is to be expected. It want to boot but from where? Give it another multi I/O with IDE or maybe a SCSI controller. My guess is that there is the culprit, a bad IDE controller ior some conflict and the board is good. Try an ISA only one or change the card in other slot (swap it with the video card) because I found that some VLB controllers were picky when inserted in another VLB slots (I had one that booted only in MASTER VLB slot) and also that some are not well behaved when paired with certain chipset (I had one that I could never make to work on my computer but it worked - with DMA enabled - on another motherboard with the same chipset like it had).

I highly doubt this is a Pentium with the FDIV bug. The FDIV-bugged ones are the earliest releases with the grey ceramic substrate and the golden top IHS. This version seems to be a replacement released after Intel agreed to give replacements to those who bought the FDIV-bugged ones. I could be wrong, though, but it really looks like a second iteration of the first Pentium generation (codenamed P54C)

Hello! I am a contributor to The Retro Web project and I was wondering about two things: 1. Do you still have this motherboard? 2. If you do, would you be willing to dump the BIOS of it for preservation purposes? This can be accomplished using software such as NSSI. Cheers!

in my opinion 1312 it is memory error, please try with banks next to each other or diffrent combination

Дичь, конечно. Но так интересно. Прям детство вспоминаю, глядя на это железо.

memory memory game...

Where is the video of this motherboard working?

Put the ram in the sockets next to each other and try again

Ahoj! Rychly dotaz, vidim, ze jsi z ceska, tak pisi cesky, jak dlouho nechavas pusobit ocet a k cemu je tam jedla soda, to vidim poprve? Dekuji! Ok, for rest, now in english... How long u need to leave vinegar on board and why baking soda, this i see first time in my life. Thx!

Reseat and deoxit anything and everything. Look for more corrosion.

Amazing! I've got a Pentium board however that refuses to work without cmos battery, maybe give it a try? :)

Asus Mars 760 on x99 tease?

How much did this computer scrap cost?
