Funny, this mobo has no onboard anything. Nada. Chips

this skinny little IDE/floppy controller, with a Goldstar chip. This

Cyrix 486 DX2-66 and 16 megs of ram. There's an empty socket besides the
uP - what in blazes is that for???
UMC's ATA implementation was horrible. You'd be far better off using a
separate controller (especially if you plan to run anything besides DOS).
