Hi,
I've got an old 386 board that i think is well suited for some embedded apps.
But the BIOS don't boot without keyboard or video card. Anyway, the 64 Kb of
the BIOS are better intended for other use, so i'm planning to replace the BIOS
chip to other with my application inside. The problem is the initialitation of
the chipset.
The only unknown chip is marked as "M1217", and it's the main chipset of the
beast, so i'm searching some info about it, like Manufacturer, Datasheet, etc.
Other motherboard chips are: (for ease of identification)
CPU: AMD 386SX (33 MHz)
NPU: IIT 387
Keyboard Controller: Intel/AMI
CMOS: M5818 (same Manufacturer? 146818 clone?)
BIOS: 27c512 (64Kb) AMI BIOS
RAM: four 1Mb 30 pin SIMMs
a few TTL/CMOS standart IC's.
Any help is wellcome.
Best regards
