As I'm a hardware enthusiast and I've been using this website a lot, so I decided to contribute as much as possible to give something back. Here's the first motherboard. I'll post more later.

URL on win3x.org/uh19: http://www.win3x.org/uh19/motherboard/show/1727
Supported memory: FPM 72pin
Photo(s) of the motherboard: Attached photo of my own motherboard. Original condition, only jumpers changed and coin cell battery was replaced.
Motherboard BIOS(es): Award, date 04/08/96, string 04/08/96-VT496G-505-2A4L6D49C-14
Notes:
- Has one VLB slot on the bottom, it's missing on the schema pic.
- Doesn't support EDO RAM, won't POST with it.
- Unofficially also supports CPUs with frequencies 120 and 133MHz.
- A+ revision most likely doesn't have the '+' sign printed anywhere on the board, so it can barely be identified.

I also got the bios, where can I upload it?

The bios can be posted to whatever file upload facility you feel comfortable with. We will download it from there, then upload it to the page.

In the mean time, we'll fix the page with your info and add the photo.

Thank you :)

Ok, here's the file. Downloaded from the Flash EPROM chip by external programming device.

Thanks for updating the page. Just a little note, the BIOS core version is actually 4.50PG, not 4.51PG. I'm attaching a photo of the POST screen just to be sure.

Yep, that version was there as a placeholder until I got the actual file. Which is added too now btw.

Thank you :)
