This is a (very incomplete) list of various old hardware which I have or did have and pertinent technical specifications, jumper settings, etc. This is maintained for my own benifit but is posted since some of the technical details may be useful to others.
This monitor is made by TECO Information Systems in Taiwan. They appear to use the Relisys trademark. Their products are distributed exclusively by AIM in the US.

DO NOT contact me asking for information on Biostar products. I do not have time to do their job for them. I have gotten dozens of requests for information beyond what is posted here because I have more information on this web page on certain biostar products than they do. If the information here helps you, great; if it doesn't, don't expect any more. I am sick and tired of Biostar. Contact biostar tech support for more information about your biostar board. Also, please tell them what LOSERS they are for not posting the info in the first place, even if you found the information you were looking for here. Don't purchase any biostar products (or products that contain biostar components); otherwise, you might have to deal with their technical support.

After 6 emails and 2 months, the losers at Biostar still have failed to provide a manual for this board but they have sent me information I didn't ask for, passed the buck when I had written to the correct address in the first place, asked questions which I had already answered unambiguously, and said they would send information but failed to actually deliver. This information should have been readily availible on their web site in the first place.

Note: a reader informed me that the european division of biostar has actually posted jumper settings for this motherboard. I went to check their USA site and tech support had disappeared entirely. This appears to be due to their criminally incompetent use of java; their pages are totally unusable if you have enough sense to disable java and javascript in your browser or if you use a browser, such as one for handheld or disabled use, which does not support java and javascript. This is a violation of US Law (ADA). It turns out that the european site is also similarly unusable.
Biostar Sucks! Don't do business with these losers.

After many months and about 6 emails I was able to get a manual from the
folks at Biostar, who are too irresponsible to post this information
on their own website.16 JP38 JP39
3.3-3.6V 1-2 1-2 1-2 1-2 open
4V (cyrix) 1-2 1-2 1-2 2-3 closed
5V 2-3 2-3 2-3 1-2 open
Some old boards (before ver 6) do not have JP28 and JP39 and may
not support Cyrix 4V cpu. Voltages other than 5V require a
voltage regulator be installed on the board (position likely to
be marked "LT1085" but the regulator is likely to be marked
"SHARP PQ30RV21".
Here is a rather ambiguous table:
PCB Version JP20 JP23 JP40 Remark
