P2B-DS???
P(entium) II B(oard)-D(?)S(?)
The machine is all packed up at this time so I cannot get to the MB. But
I'll be going back into it soon and will try to get the MB specs. I looked
but really couldn't find anything. There was identification there but too
much stuff to move around so didn't get into it.
The case is a Full ATX case. Isn't that what ATX means in a Power Supply
the configuration of the mounting screws?
