I have an old 486DX2 motherboard and I'm trying to salvage it. I believe
it is an Intel, the only markings I can see on it are:

ISA 486SV2 Rev 2.4


I checked intel.com, but it was no help.

The system originally died on me when the disk controller went. I would
like to buy a new disk controller, hard disk, CD-ROM, and sound card for
it so my kids can play on it.  I figure I will probably need a new BIOS
for it as well. I know the current BIOS cannot handle large disks. It is
for the new BIOS that I need to know the motherboard type (right?).

The machine was custom built for me (it was an experiment) around 1992,
so there is no vendor I can talk to. The guy who built it is long gone.

Thanks in advance for any tips.
