Hey Retro Community! I think it's time to switch gears back to retro computing. And for that I present the Amprton PM9600 Socket 7 AT Motherboard. It came as part of the Socket 7 lot I picked up a while back. I started with this one since the other 3 were just Compaq boards, making this the most interesting one. Does it work?
