- check the pci version (I'm pretty sure these were pre PCI 2.0 ?)
- check for dmi existance
DMI came after VLB didn't it? Even if not, the BIOS date may
give clues. I don't recall VLB after 1996 or so.
- check for acpi existance.
surely no-one made an acpi aware vlb machine :)

There are probably other creative ways.
