I need help identifying the manufacturer or UK importer (or anyone who
has a setup manual) for a 486/P24 equipped integrated motherboard (2
off) which I recently bought.

The motherboards, which have no CPU installed, are unusual in that
they have a single 16 bit ISA bus slot (to fit a riser into),
integrated S386C805 VGA, 2 serial, 1 parallel, 1 game, 1 mouse, IDE
and floppy controllers on the board, plus of course two CPU sockets -
one presumably for a 486 processor, the other maybe is a P24 socket.

It is equipped to take nine 28 pin cache RAM chips, and two banks of 2
- 72 pin SIMMS.

The chipset is Symphony SL82C362/461/465, the BIOS is Quadtel 386/486,
and the board appears to be called DT-TORNADO-2, BIOS version
"TORNADO2 V2.04S".

I have two boards, revisions C8A, & C10.

I need to either get a copy of the setup manual because there are many
jumpers to play :-) with, plus I need to know what clock rates are
supported by the board, as the crystal has been disguised and I
haven't found it yet!

If you have any knowledge or hint of who manufacters or imports this
motherboard, please mail me.

David Moody, the dude that can always **** it up!
