I think this is a AT motherboard, based on the power connector. The precursor to the ATX motherboard standard.

My first computer. 386. The slots are ISA ( precursor of pci, agp and pci-express). Ram slots on bottom right. I believe those many chips above cpu is cpu cache. And in between slot for co-processor.

this is how people used to mine in the 90s

AT form factor with ISA slots. The second board is probably RAM. The RAM on the motherboard looks like 30-pin SIMMs, but I thought that those came later. Weird.
It actually looks like more of an industrial motherboard than something that would go in a desktop PC. Probably for some sort of control system.

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful, that is what it is.

Older equip like this used to have a tiny bit of gold. Be a nice peice of history in your desk though, I say go for it

Looks like there was some patching due to damage at one point?

A 80386. Big evolution from the 80286! Such a beauty. Runs windows 3.1 at 60 FPS. Also runs DOS 6.22 like a charm.

Like others have already said its a 386 board, not quite standard AT, so likely from a Philips OEM PC, with some very unusual expansion slots which that RAM board fits in. Those boards belong together, you’re very lucky to have both, since they are pretty non-standard. I can’t find that exact board online, might want to get in touch with [https://theretroweb.com/](https://theretroweb.com/) for help identifying it and posting info about it.
It looks pretty complete, you’d need a 16-bit ISA graphics card and an ATX-AT power adapter and you could probably get that old girl up and running again 🙂

A Mother board and a Daughter Board ?
Sorry , im Slot 1 Cpu Old.

Broooooo that is old as frick! It would be pretty sick to get it running but you need oñd school DOS with Windows 3.11! This is at least a very cool display piece

If you’re in the US, I’ll take it if no one else has claimed it. I’ll pay for shipping.
EDIT: also if you’re not planning on doing anything with it.

This looks to be something out of a 80s early 90s computer. You can tell by the amount of IC chips. The 2nd board seems to be a RAM card that would fit onto one of the bus slots.

I think I see “Philips Electronics” on the bottom border of the second pic. Curious to know what type of equipment this might have been installed in.
Any distinctive model/SKU numbers anywhere else on it? My best guess is it’s from some pretty old medical or industrial equipment. Hardly a specific answer, but Philips has their hand in so many industries that it’ll be pretty hard to narrow down. Especially if this component is discontinued and no longer listed in any part catalogues.

What a classic! 16 bit ISA lanes and the memory card! Big bucks back in the day

Shit man. I used to have one of these machines growing up. Good for playing OG doom

It’s certainly stangey.

Doesn’t even have the math coprocessor. Lame.

I’m not an English spoken person but would say I understand it quite close to a 100%, except when, like in this case, it’s used along a German word. What does “stange board” exactly means?

Perfect for period accurate MSDOS Gaming. Will run 1993 Doom at low resolution.
386 motherboard and a strange expansion card that also looks like it has a NuBus option.
Could easily sell the 386 to a retro game enthusiast looking to build a period accurate machine.

How many ram slots am I looking at here

This is an early PC motherboard. Whatever you do, don’t throw it away, even if it is ‘broken’. There really is no such thing as ‘broken’ with hardware of this era, just temporarily in need of some TLC. Someone will give it a home and may even give you some cash for it.
It is an i386 board. The card is a memory expansion card. This appears to be a transitional board with some integrated I/0. The Phillips service tag suggests this was originally part of a proprietary system. There are a couple Eurocard ports on the board but I’m not sure what those were used for, probably something custom. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this could have been in something like a POS or ATM. Could have also been an industrial PC. You should nevertheless be able to just use it like a regular PC because it appears to have all the architecture for it.

OLD motherboard and I believe a memory expansion board.
It’s a motherboard built around i386 a CPU first made in 1985.
This is way less then 1/100 as powerful as a 2012 Raspberry Pi.
“strange” LOL
Yeah, this is basically e-waste now.
The chip didn’t generate enough heat to require a heat sink let alone a cooling fan 🙂
I think the daughter board is a co-processor of some type, it’s phillips so possibly graphics rendering?
