Looks like you might need one without additional TAG - this is a rough translation from a Chinese FAQ page on the old Spacewalker site. Seems to refer to it as " Haoxin Quick Access Memory Module with only two 128KB chips " https://web.archive.org/web/19991008101013/http://www.spacewalker.com:80/ …

If you download & run the compressed driver file (100IDISK.EXE) from the link I posted above, it'll expand all the various OS driver options including a directory named PCKTDRVR - the files you want are in there.

I have a ISA NIC based on the DP83800AVF 10/100 ISA MAC chipset. Since it has an option rom socket (28 pin, but that's not an issue) I'd like to use it to run the XT-IDE bios at startup in a 286 build I'm contemplating. However I have had precisely zero luck in finding any info or software for it …

Some variation on this https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=552887#p552887 using a 6-32# case screw (or similar) is a common method, although the big concern is usually the amount of force you need to apply to get the pins to actually release, and without breaking. My wrinkle on this is to apply a …

Shame about the BIOS, but it was certainly woth a try. Done a bit more reading on this, and despite not seeming to have a history of board level component failure, sadly it's beginning to look that way. As a matter of interest do both VRMs have the big heatsink fitted as apparently some 1st release …

Sorry @douglar, doesn't help with the actual pinout, but @weedeewee is right about a max of 2 ports on these boards so the best you can likely do is relocate one of the rear ports for use with their custom FP USB cable. https://web.archive.org/web/20090307030316/http://support.gateway.com/s/MOTHERBD …
