@jmarsh / @darry, suppose in the end it comes down to personal experience with many of these things - I bought 7 of these (plus one of the later models with SATA) back in late 2010 / early 2011 from the same local supplier and despite regular, and at times extended, use since then I've had no …

Hi there! I recently bought an old Compaq CPU module with Intel 486 SL processor attached. I though about making a simple single board computer out of it. I planned to add some SDRAM, a PIC, PIT, UART, IDE interface and maybe RTC+battery. Everything would be controlled by an Altera MAX II CPLD. I …

Couldn't you just use adapter plates for standard psu form factors (atx, sff, tfx, flex) best suited to the Gateway case layouts?

I do have that manual (I think?) But there were no photographs in there. With a photo maybe someone could notice a problem with your board too (or maybe not, but it's worth a try !) And yes the update disks are interesting (actually I'm also interested by the source) Your glitch sounds like an …

Thanks very much for all the replies, I wasn't aware the dls8101.rom was interim for the P6DLS as the Supermicro download archive doesn't list the BIOS's for each respective board. However, on checking the label on my BIOS chip it states DLSC221 which incidentally is listed in that same archive. I …
