Go here: http://bios.help.pl/tools/ctbios.html and get the program
ctbios. Put it one a floppy and boot your machine to a DOS prompt with a
boot disc. Put the ctbios floppy in and type ctbios at the DOS prompt.
Some of the info it gives will be in German, but it should give you enough
info in English to identify the board. It will even give you the company's
website if it has one.
If you are not at the stage to be able to boot the machine, then look on the
board itself (I usually find them near the ISA or PCI slot or on the outer
edge of the board) for a set of numbers and or letters such as PB5-A. This
is usually the board number. Then go to Google and plug them in the search
box. This should find some information for you.
Hope this helps,
Fran
