Default Gigabyte GA-686DX rev.1A

Hello,
Where can I find a (PDF) manual for a dual Pentium Pro motherboard I
just acquired? The model name printed on it is GA-686DX, rev.1A.

So far, I found a fairly comprehensive list of settings at http://
artofhacking.com/th99/m/E-H/34214.htm, but I’d like to have the
actual manual, mostly to make sure that it matches my board’s revision
for connector positions/labels, and also to have a list of the
integrated ICs.

I would also like to know if any BIOS updates are available, and where
these could be found. I don’t care about drivers, in case you’re
wondering.

This is an excerpt of the information from Aida:
Gigabyte GA-686DX
Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG (12/05/96)
12/05/96-i440FX-8669-2A69HG0BC-00
BIOS message: Intel 440FX BIOS for Dual Pentium(R) Pro Processor V.
1.23

Chipset: Intel Natoma 82440FX
PCI-00-0-02: Intel 82441FX PCI and Memory Controller - PMC [A-1]
PCI-07-0-01: Intel 82371SB PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator - PIIX [B-0]
PCI-07-1-00: Intel 82371SB PIIX3 - IDE Controller


Thank you in advance,

The document inside is a "Word For Windows 2" document ?

I was able to read that in OpenOffice.

I can't find a BIOS for you.

Thank you, that was perfect. Although I had to install Word 2000 in a
virtual machine to be able to see the graphics in the document.

Well, thanks anyway.
