Using Copernic to search, it appears to have been a dual S370
socket motherboard, with Camino i820 Northbridge. I cannot tell
whether the product used RDRAM or SDRAM. Virtually all of the
links that point to info on it are stale. I guess they were on
sale for about $25 at some point in time, implying they are even less
valuable to people than a 440BX based motherboard.

The fact that I don't see an FTP directory for that model
number, implies the board was an OEM product and not supported
on the Asus web site. Product info should be here, but it is
not:

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/sock370/820/

The i820 had some problems, and if you search for Camino on
tomshardware.com, you can read about it. Maybe the CUC-D was
a board that was recalled ? That might be a reason for it to
be missing from the ftp site.

I'm sure some of the old-timers in the group remember this
board...

An i820 based dual board for socket 370 Coppermine PIIIs, it seems. Will
apparently also run single CuMine Celerons if these are for 100 MHz FSB,
but that would be pointless with such a board. Feature wise it's likely
to be near identical to the Slot 1 P3C-D. Older (i820 compatible) RDRAM
only, of course. Seems to be so scarce that not even a downloadable
manual or BIOS update is available. An older post suggests this may have
been one of the first i820 boards that got pulled because of stability
problems. If that's true, Asus apparently didn't bother to rework it and
scrapped it altogether. If so, this would be one of the least supported
boards of this era, even more so than the 1997 Gigabyte i440FX boards
(GA-686FX/GA-686DX/GA-686KDX).

Thank Paul

You may be right I was told when I got the board that it came from a server
so OEM it maybe, but surely there must be some docs on this board somewhere.

Oh and yes it does have RDRAM slots not SDRAM there are 2 slots and I have
the terminator board that allows a single module to be used, there is also a
terminator for the second CPU slot.

Thanks
