   Helps to have the model when you post.   
      
   Wowser, a Trident and a Phoenix BIOS, probably the video card. An IBM   
   BIOS, maybe the system board. I9990305   
      
   It -MIGHT- be that the IBM is an implementation of a modular BIOS, akin   
   to SurePath.   
      
   The silk screen on the riser looks Panasonic-ish, but the motherboard   
   looks not. Maybe Matsushita made the motherboard and Panasonic designed   
   the system case, PSU, ancillary parts.   
      
   Need the identity of the motherboard model / part number.

   memorabilia - a 486 AIO made by Panasonic. It does seem to have an IBM BIOS,   
   but no recovery disk I tried seems to work. The topic is generating quite a   
   lot of interest on    
   Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/15z00   
   t/help_me_troubleshoot_a_vintage_old_japanese/) so, my only card left is   
   asking my this group. Right now, I managed to have it boot, but I still get   
   errors 161 and 162 - not solvable    
   without the proper disk!
