I have an old motherboard (pre-multiprocessor) that says Apolo on it, I think it was pulled from an old Apple computer, but I can't find anything online to identify it. It also has a sticker on it that says U 29697. If you need more info or a pic or something let me know. Thanks.
 
Here is an image of it, and it's spelled Apolo (One L), not an Apollo mobo. It's pre-multiprocessor also so your diagram does not even come close. I'm pretty sure it's pre-HDD, pre-PCI, pre-onboard IDE. It's old. If you can't see it in the pic, one section says RAM (DIMM) and the other section says ROM, the third says IO and the last is slots.

What the.....is that I have never see a motherboard like that. Does that even go to a computer. Even if you find out what it is and what it is used for. I doubt it will work or if it does the parts needed to run it probably don't exist anymore.


Edit: Here is a motherboard forum you can try it see what you get http://www.motherboards.org/forums/

That is an ancient motherboard. those slots are ISA, which is before PCI. to put it simply, PCI came into fashion in the early 90's. If you could identify it i'm sure a collector (yes it's that old!) would pay you for it... Or you could give it to a computer museum of some sort. Although, it is an intel board from my knowledge, but i may be wrong.
I'm willing to bet that mobo is up to 30 years old. probably around 20.

I spoke to my friend who gave the board to me and he claims that it is from a "black market" Apple computer his father got while in Poland. I have cards that go with it if you would like pics of them, maybe to help identify?
 
Here are some additional photos of the cards and boards that came with it, any help identifying what system they're from would be terrific. Thanks.
