Can someone match types of BUS to the Connections?

I need help with my homework i have to match types of BUS to the connections.

Im not sure with that bottom right one, In my opinion the one in middle is PCI the one under PCI is ISA but Im not sure what is next to the ISA.

VLB(Vesa Local Bus)
It was generally used for video cards but had other uses.

Thanks, and the other ones are good? I got it like this

Yup, the other ones you have correct. Interesting note, as the article states, VLB was more or less limited to the 486 line of CPU's, but most people back then didn't realize that PCI was a better and much faster replacement to VLB and would often keep their VLB video cards between upgrades instead of upgrading to a PCI video card, which would have served them much better.

Sloty?

Its made in my mother tongue I have to make presentention with answers on questions and the last task was to match types of BUS to connections. We say "SLOTY" for "SLOTS" Just czech language things

Ah VLB dedicated slot, AGP precursor pretty much.

Like i was wondering if its AGP or something else tbh but i found some google images and the AGP looked a bit differently so thats why i made this post cuz i wasnt really sure about that.

IBM proprietary connector.

AGP came after PCI

Those are SIMM slots

Fair enough. Didn't know that.

IBM proprietary connector.

VLB was not proprietary to IBM. It was a VESA standard.

I though IBM was the only one to use that bus extension?

Slot 1 with no AGP and built on GFX. Haven't seen one of those almost two decades!

No, they may have been the first to use it in their machines, can't remember, but they didn't invent/pioneer that tech.

The chips in the sockets below the CPU socket(to the right of the VLB slots) are L2 cache.

IIRC, IBM shunned VL. They had their own standard - found it - Micro Channel which was proprietary to IBM. VLbus was the free alternative.

Okay, here's a fun one. What are the 9 chips on the lower right ?

Edit: @MrGenius ninja'd me

Answered 1 post before you.

Wow, I never heard of a VLB slot before this. Pretty sure I've seen one before though and wondered what the heck it was... I guess now, years later, I finally have my answer!

Fun fact: some of this stuff is actually still in use today. At work (a plastic factory) I went looking at a pallet full of... spare parts? pulled from a defunct press. I noticed a computer box with a board in it stuffed to the gills with ISA slots... Of course, the press I assume it came from was quite old. We have much newer ones now, though some rather old ones are still in service... I wonder what kind of stuff the newer ones have?

What about IDE, Floppy, COM, and Parallel ports?

That's the one I was thinking of.

Those don't seem to be present on this mainboard. Back then, those could be found on an add in card. I had one such card and it had IDE, floppy, a parallel port and also probably a serial port.

I see the pin headers for inserting ribbon cables into the motherboard. Look to the top left corner next to the AT power connector.

Those do look like they could be pin headers for IDE, floppy and other interfaces. Good catch. There's probably 2x IDE, 1x floppy, 1x parallel and 2x serial on there.

Actually yes, if you look at the top of the board, those are IDE, Floppy, Parallel and Serial connectors right above the ram slots. They're just not readily marked, see below;

id just label them obsolete and get told off then tell them what they were and finish off by saying obsolete. probably why i never did that well in educational terms. although serial i think is still needed.
