I'd wonder if it's the right disk, as I see old ads online for Venturis FX-2 System Software CD Version 1.4 so maybe there were family-specific versions http://sup.xenya.si/sup/info/digital/MDS/jun99/Cd2/PC/B00WWGAB.PDF You could message that seller to check, and if confirmed for the FX-2 series …

It probably shipped with Windows 95 OSR1 or OSR2. Are you just looking for that or you're hoping for some kind of restore CD? That's exactly what I was hoping for. Specifically, a Windows 95 with USB support or Windows 98 restore CD from DEC. There are still some support files and links on archive. …

Depending on the model, it shipped with Windows 95 or NT4. You can get a list of the supplied system software & utilities from the service manual https://manx-docs.org/collections/mds-199909/ … pc/dw0wwsma.pdf

Hello everyone, I'm including a PDF with the motherboard manual for reference. Due to site limitations, it's split into 2 files. If you do `cat vp6.pdf.1.pdf vp6.pdf.2.pdf > vp6.pdf` on a system that supports cat and pipes, it'll produce the full PDF. The gist of the question is does anyone know …

Another DIY suggestion would be to cut an IO blanking plate to length and then either tap for screws or drill for nuts / bolts

Tyan seem to refer to them both (S1592 & S1598) as the Trinity ATX, though as there seems to have been quite a few errors in the S1592 printed manual, maybe this is why it never made it to PDF. This seems to be the only online jumper info https://web.archive.org/web/20140906224545/http://www.tyan. …

Sadly, I haven't made any more progress with this motherboard. I'll probably try to track down other BIOS revisions to try, but I'm not hopeful. I'll likely have to abandon this particular board. I'm open to other ideas if anyone has any. Thanks again to everyone. There's a good selection, upto & …

Seems to be a board from an old MicronPC system - if you can, maybe try the latest Tyan bios (v1.07) I take it that the MicronPC and Tyan bios are different? MicronPC referred to this board as the 'Tazer' rather than the Trinity 400, and it's unclear how different this OEM version might have been …
