    Question Old mother board

    I am working on an old computer and I am unable to find out any thing about the mother board. 07/04/97-VXPro+-USB-Ultra-2A5LDH09C-00 is the BIOS id and the processor is an IBM 6x86L PR200+ with IBM26 6x86L-2VAP200GB 150MHZ-2.8V core in small print. info on BIOS updates and a board diagram would be nice if any one can help it would be appreciated. Thank You.

    A quick Google identifies it as a PC Chips 537 motherboard, sold under a variety of names (see below). Your actual board would seem to be an "Ability" but they now appear to be defunct. Nevertheless, all drivers etc. can be got from the PC Chips site as the boards are all identical - simply rebranded.
