M/B info
I have a Compaq Deskpro. I am looking to upgrade it. Where can I find info
on the mobo. I Googled the model number and it came up as Dolphin Enterprise, but I couldn't get any info there. Also, how do I get into the BIOS? It is running Win95 and I get the Compaq splash screen and I tried the delete and the F2 keys. Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA hu man |

TIA hu man I do not remember the exact CMOS procedure for a Deskpro, but there were some Compaq computers that required pressing F10 or F1 while a white square appeared on the screen in the upper right hand corner. This square appeared during POST, and the key must be pressed while the square was visible. As for information on the MB, I would think you would need to gather information off of the MB such as model number, maker, and such. Compaq generally will list information about their products by the Deskpro model number, and then it will be limited. Good luck. |

If the white square does not appear then that has been removed from the drive at some time or other. You might be able to download the software to set up that partition from the compaq website but i guess that would require re-partitioning the PC. Some of the older compaq laptops had it on a floppy drive with a win3.11 style interface. I would try searching for the compaq part number. Cheers Richard |
