Identifying Motherboard, Need Drivers
I am trying to ressurect a computer that had it's
harddrive go bad. The computer was given to me without disks or manuals, so I'm trying to identify it by the numbers on the motherboard and chips. I have been able to find PDF manuals on pcchips and Amtron websites for what appears to be the correct motherboard as far as layout but neither appears to have the right drivers for the chips on this board. The PDF ,same one on each site, doesn't mention the mfg. either. The number on the motherboard near the power supply is: M747V51 It has a 333mhx celeron in a slot 1 connector. The video chip markings a SIS 6326AGP (C)(M)SIS'98 AGP8M The audio chip markings a Sound Pro PCI HT1869V+ HRTF 3D AUDIO EAT 49 9850 Chipset: PC100 BXPro IDE: SIS 5595 (C)(M)SIS'98 PID6081 9848CF b2 BIOS chip: 686 AMBIOS 1995 american megatrends CL48810 When the computer boots the BIOS screens a 6326AGP BIOS v1.23f support bios v20 BIOS setup screen: v1.19 12/10/98 PC100 BXPro I know this isn't a very good system but the handicapped person I'm giving this to is using a 286sx system now. Any help in getting the correct drivers would be greatly appreciated. |

If you need to, flash the BIOS. If not (or if you're not sure), then skip straight to the IDE and AGP drivers. -Dave http://www.pcchipsusa.com/support-di...-bios.asp#M747 |

Remove all the non-essential parts, boot the system and run it. -- Al Dykes ----------- adykes at p a n i x . c o m |
