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.
