Amptron DX9200A VLB/PCI Baby AT motherboard with AMD Am486DX4-100 processor and a working fan (no rattling noise). The board will only accept FPM DRAM modules (no RAM is included as I have a shortage of FPM modules).

Probably worth mentioning this board is known to have fake cache chips, unless you replaced them or know for sure they are real.

Honestly, I don't know, if the cache chips are real or not. They do look a bit fishy. I'll make sure to check and update the thread accordingly.

PC Chips were doing some shady business back then and a lot of their boards in 486 era used fake cache chips and modified BIOSes to report cache that doesn't exist on the board. The chips were actually empty inside, some boards even have traces that go from cache chips to nowhere. Potential buyer could accuse you of selling a broken board after running some benchmarks, if they aren't familiar with this scandal. Get CACHECHK and test it to be safe.

At least, these are socketed so it’s easy to check if they are hollow. And in case they are, you can replace them with real ones without too much hassle.
All PCChips M915s I know of that had fake chips had them directly soldered on the motherboard to hide the scam. So it’s quite probable these are real ones. It would be weird otherwise.

Better check and be sure.

Ran CACHECHK and can confirm cache is not fake.

Also slight price drop.
